Stanford microfluidics foundry has a good guide for designing your own device. That includes a guide to use AutoCAD.
AutoCAD (a program from Autodesk) is available free.
- Skolelisenser
- Elev og lærerlisenser
You can use Klayout but we have more support for using Autocad.
Mask template for placing your designs
This guide for designing masks has some important tips
- All fluid pathways have to be inside one or more closed contour(s)
- The outer contour should be drawn in one layer (Give it a name like "Flow")
- Any obstacles inside this outer contour must be drawn in another layer. Give it a name like "Flow inner polygons")
