Metallic micro parts

Based on lithographically produced forms that are filled with electroplated metal, we are able to produce precise micro components made of different metals. These micro metal components have vertical side walls and can have almost any design in lateral dimensions. In order to realize more complex components, we are able to realize the components in a multilevel way. The achievable high aspect ratios allows narrow metal bars or narrow slots in the component. The possible fineness of the structures and the associated complexity exceeds mechanical precision engineering by far. Due to the parallel production and its independence of the complexity of the components regarding the manufacturing, this method is also superior to mechanical precision engineering in terms of price.

Unlike other micro fabricated materials, metals have the typical properties of high strength and high elasticity.
