The state of the art in the domain of additive production processes
(the part is built by material addition without use of a shape tool) will be presented.
The main application/benefits/shortcomings of the common additive processes as well as
technological and economical issues will be discussed.
The student will learn process techniques and applications of modern micro- and nanofabrication technologies, as practiced in a standard
clean room, with focus on silicon mainstream and microsystems technologies.
Advanced 3D forming techniques for high throughput and high resolution (nanometric) for large scale production. Digital manufacturing of functional layers, microsystems and smart systems.
This course gives the basics for understanding nanotechnology from an engineer's perspective: physical background, materials aspects and scaling laws, fabrication and imaging of nanoscale devices.
