Description
The course will provide the attendees with a systematic overview of the various manufacturing methods for micromechanical components and their characteristics. A systematic method is presented to facilitate the selection of a manufacturing process for micromechanical components defined with a requirement list. By the end of the course, the attendees will be able to select the adequate process for a specific component, with regard to the technical feasibility as well as to economical aspects.
