We stand on the
shoulders of giants.
shoulders of giants.
Our work would not have been possible without the foundations laid by our mentors. Our work would not have been possible without the foundations laid by our mentors. Neptune’s microfluidic design and fabrication tool leverages projects such as Fluigi Place and Route, Mint description language, MakerFluidics, and 3DuF in order to provide the most intuitive and cohesive experience for users. These projects have been built and expanded on by our graduate student mentors. We would like to thank our mentors for all of the work they have done to allow us to bring Neptune to life.
MINT
A microfluidic description language generated as an output of MuShroom mapper and used as an input to Fluigi. This language is used to describe the features of the specified microfluidic device in great detail including specification of feature shape, size and spacing.

Fluigi
A place and route tool for microfluidic devices. Fluigi takes a MINT file as input and strategically routes the features specified in the MINT into an optimized microfluidic design. Fluigi outputs the design in a series of visual formats: SVG files (which can be used to mill out the different layers of the microfluidic chip using a CNC mill), a JSON file (which can be used to visualize the microfluidic design with 3DuF), and EPS files (which can be used to build the chip using photolithography if the user so chooses).
