1 Product Development Regarding Micro Specific Tasks

Tolerances and the interaction of parts play a large role in the micro design process. The downsteam processes, e.g. production also play a major role. The main processes that have to be taken into consideration are because of the basic material used, circonium dioxide, design and production of the cavity, injection molding and sintering, decollating, quality assurance and at last the assembly of the different parts. The different steps of the production process have certain restriction on the design. The restrictions delimit the shape of the parts and of the system as a whole. In many cases the matching of parts is evident to achieve a functional system, e.g. we would need to produce parts with a diameter of 1 mm with a maximum deviation of 1 µm to fulfill the function without searching a matching couple.
