Abstract
In this engineering final project, we focus on the design, manufacturing, commissioning, and optimization of a miniature centrifugal pump, created via 3D printing. This device is specifically tailored for millifluidic and microfluidic applications, presenting significant challenges in terms of design, manufacturing, and actuation. The design phase began with the creation of a detailed digital model of the pump components using the SolidWorks design software. Subsequently, the parts were manufactured using an Anycubic 3D printer, providing optimal precision and flexibility in creating the complex elements of the pump. The pump's mobile rotor includes an integrated turbine and magnet, printed to ensure free mobility. This choice enables efficient magnetic drive of the pump, ensuring reliable operation and increased durability under various fluidic conditions. The commissioning of the pump will involve thorough experimental testing to evaluate its performance, particularly in terms of flow rate, generated pressure, and energy efficiency. These experimental tests will play a crucial role in the final optimization of the device, aiming to maximize its performance and meet the specific requirements of microfluidic and millifluidic applications.
