Rapid, simple microchannel prototyping is critical for the development of modern microfluidic devices and platforms. Laser cutting (ablation) using a commercially available continuous wave (CW) CO2 laser followed by thermal bonding is one of the most common approaches for prototyping in thermoplastics such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). However, this technique suffers from poorly controlled channel...
