Fabrication of microfluidic channel using micro end milling and micro electrical discharge milling

This paper discusses the fabrication of microfluidic channels using micro end milling and micro electrical discharge (ED) milling on metals and polymers. The width of the microchannels fabricated by micro end milling was 100-800 µm with 1-2 aspect ratio. The average surface roughness values were 100...
