Second day of the Micronarc Alpine Meeting just finished and there was again some very high-level presentation on how to actually manufacture parts. One of the technology presented was lithography electroplating molding. This technology is now perfectly mastered. Let’s see an example with Mimotec. Small and precise The technology is quite simple, we use a UV source of light and attack a photo-sensitive material through a master that lets the light pass only where we want. Then we have a (…)

The Micronarc Alpine Meeting carries on, this morning after seeing the way to produce chips, we discovered that actually the microsystems directly benefits from the watch industry know-how. Let’s see how. Obviously parts can be done by different technologies and if dry etching is good enough to produce electronic parts, it can also be used to do something else, for instance parts for the watch industry. With the technology, we can then produce new parts that would have been impossible to (…)

Micronarc organized the Alpine Meeting and guess what? It’s a high-end meeting that just started. First afternoon saw us enjoy the tutorial given by Prof. Ivo W. Rangelow on micro and nano fabrication. A very passionate lecturer to give us a fascinating presentation for a quite difficult topic (for me that is not a scientist). Nevertheless, there are lessons to learn for everyone. There was 10 people reunited in the nice Eurotel Victoria of Villars-sur-Ollon to start the three days (…)
