Microchannel heat exchangers (MCHXs) are becoming increasingly important for thermal management in various applications due to their high heat transfer efficiency and compact size. However, their performance is highly dependent on the design geometry of the microchannels Traditional manufacturing methods for MCHXs pose limitations in design complexity and material selection. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), a prominent additive manufacturing (AM) technique, presents a promising alternative for fabricating MCHXs. This review paper explores the suitability of FDM for face geometry in water-cooled MCHXs, analysing their advantages, limitations, and potential design considerations. Microchannel heat sinks with straight and wavy designs are the two main varieties that have been the focus of extensive research in this field. The current paper provides beneficial information regarding the different designs and methods for heat enhancement and overall thermal performance in straight and wavy microchannel heat sinks.
