Advanced topics in micro- and nanomanufacturing: top-down meets bottom-up

MICRO-724

This course introduces advanced fabrication methods enabling the manufacturing of novel micro- and nanosystems (NEMS/MEMS). Both top-down techniques (lithography, stenciling, scanning probes, additive techniques) and bottom-up approaches (self-assembly) are presented.

Introduction to additive manufacturing

ME-413

On présente l'état de l'art dans le domaine des procédés addifitifs (où la pièce est fabriquée par ajout de matière sans utilisation d'outil de forme). Les applications/avantages/limitations des procédés principaux seront discutés ainsi que certains aspects technologiques et écomonomiques.
