Zusammenfassung

Kaum eine Technologie hat sich innerhalb der letzten Jahre so öffentlichkeitswirksam verbreitet wie die additive Fertigung. 3D-Drucker sind mittlerweile sowohl im Heimbereich als auch in der industriellen Fertigung anzutreffen. Anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen wird die fortschreitende Entwicklung von 3D-Drucktechniken für chemische Laboratorien dargestellt. Ausgehend von grundlegender Methodenevaluation finden heutzutage komplexe und präparativ nutzbare 3D-gedruckte Reaktoren breite Anwendung sowohl in der Mikro- und Millifluidik als auch in Form kreativ genutzter Batchreaktoren.
