Abstract
The article presents the process of fabrication of the microfluidic chip to be used with the do-it-yourself (DIY) micro-PIV system previously made and compared to the classic PIV setup. This pilot study is an example of research being conducted in the Scientific fab lab (fabrication laboratory), founded at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade. Fab labs and DIY principle are becoming more and more accepted by the scientific community and this article aims to contribute to such trend.
