In recent years, microfluidics technology has been widely used in biological and medical diagnosis, which demonstrated great advantages compared with other traditional methods. However, there are financial and technology barriers for users to benefit from microfluidics technology when using the standard microfabrication technologies inherited from IC industry. With the booming of three dimensional(3D) printing technologies in recent years, more and more researchers are trying to apply 3D printing technology to fabricate the microfluidic chips for biological and medical applications. Compared with traditional microfabrication method, 3D printing technology shows great advantages in rapid fabrication, flexibility on material selection and low cost. This paper reviewed the most recent research progresses for 3D printed microfluidic technology, especially for the application of 3D printed microfluidic devices respectively fabricated by micro-stereolithography, fused deposition modelling and inkjet printing method in analytical chemistry, biological and medical diagnosis. The outlook of the research trend in 3D printed microfluidic technology was also discussed.
