Summary 3D printing technology can be used to develop a wide variety of prototypes within a very short time, which are applied in the field of biotechnology. Due to the high precision and highly automated printing technology, miniaturized and microfluidic systems can nowadays be produced using 3D printing. This simplifies the development and integration of various microfluidic units (such as micromixers), which promotes the construction of functional microfluidic platforms and lab‐on‐a‐chip systems. By using biocompatible printing materials, it is also possible to manufacture individual cultivation systems and flow cells that are suitable for the cultivation of mammalian cells or the analysis of biological samples.
