Design of a Device for Fluid Micro-Mixing Using 3D Prototyping (Phase 2)

This research and technological development project focuses on the design and construction of a functional prototype of a fluid micro-mixer intended for biomedical applications, such as rapid glucose and lactose analysis. The problem addressed is the prolonged time and inaccessibility of conventional laboratory analyses in certain locations. The proposed solution involves manufacturing a portable and fast device using additive manufacturing technology, specifically 3D prototyping with SLA technology, to accelerate result acquisition at the point of study (Point of Care - POC). Objectives include establishing prior studies, defining a 3D manufacturing methodology (SLA), evaluating functionality through laboratory tests, and developing a predictive mathematical model. Expected outcomes include indexed scientific articles (Scopus, Scielo) and a viable technological prototype for future biomedical applications, contributing to the Biomedicine research line.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To design a device for micro-fluid mixing using 3D prototyping technology, aiming to reduce laboratory analysis time and improve accessibility to medical tests such as glucose and lactose measurement.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Modeling and simulation applied to industry
