Founded in 2020, the company specialises in helping businesses design, prototype, and manufacture complex fluidic systems used in areas like medical diagnostics, life sciences, and scientific instrumentation.
At its core, the company focuses on rapid prototyping of microfluidic devices—small chips and systems that control and manipulate tiny volumes of liquid. These are widely used in applications such as point-of-care diagnostics, drug development, lab automation, and biomedical research. Instead of relying on slow traditional manufacturing methods, Rapid Fluidics uses advanced 3D printing and additive manufacturing techniques to produce working prototypes in a matter of days.
Their services cover the full development cycle: from early design consultancy and CAD modelling, through prototyping and testing, to small-batch production and design-for-manufacture support. They also produce related components like microfluidic chips, manifolds, connectors, and even anatomical models for research and training.
In simple terms, Rapid Fluidics helps companies turn ideas for lab-on-a-chip and fluid-handling technologies into real, testable hardware very quickly, reducing development time and speeding up innovation in medical and biotech devices.
It’s a small but specialised engineering firm (roughly 2–10 staff) working at the intersection of biotechnology, engineering, and advanced manufacturing.
