👉 Dip engineering is a sophisticated technique used in the design and optimization of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidic devices to control and manipulate fluid flow at the microscale. It involves the strategic introduction of microstructures or surface features that alter the wettability, geometry, or mechanical properties of a device's surfaces to guide, direct, or confine fluid movement. By engineering the surface topography or chemistry, dip engineers can achieve precise control over fluid dynamics, enabling applications such as enhanced mixing, droplet generation, and efficient fluid transport. This technique is crucial for developing advanced MEMS devices for biomedical applications, chemical processing, and lab-on-a-chip systems, where precise fluid handling is essential.
