By INESC Microssistemas e Nanotecnologias
The micromachining infrastructure specializes in a diverse array of fabrication and material processing techniques. Together, these techniques enable comprehensive micro-scale fabrication and prototyping. It offers CNC milling for precision subtractive machining of component manufacturing and advanced surface preparation through grinding and polishing for various materials. The lab supports precise laser cutting for custom designs, xurography for cutting thin films and sheets along with mechanical drilling for creating fine features. 3D printing provides additive manufacturing capabilities, enabling the creation of complex three-dimensional structures. Additional techniques include, heat press transfer for applying coatings, screen printing for patterning materials and high shear mixing for preparing uniform material dispersions.
