The gateway to the micro and nano worlds: AMN provides cutting-edge reviews and detailed case studies by top authors from science and industry, covering technologies, devices and advanced systems. Together, these have an immense innovative application potential that opens up with control of shape and function from the atomic level right up to the visible world without any technological gaps.
This and the preceeding volume cover all angles of micro-scale parts and components engineering from both metallic and ceramic materials, a very promising field which is a strong source of innovation and development for micro process technology, aerospace applications, sensors, actors, medical and dental as well as many other applications.
In this volume, readers find casting and electroforming replication techniques, automation and quality control issues, and the characterization of the microengineered components.
From the Contents:

Part I covers the introduction to this field and leads from the design and modeling aspects to tooling, molds, and micro injection molding as a powerful replication technology.
Microstructures, electronics, nanotechnology - these vast fields of research are growing together as the size gap narrows and many different materials are combined. Current research, engineering sucesses and newly commercialized products hint at the immense innovative potentials and future applications that open up once mankind controls shape and function from the atomic level right up to the visible world without any gaps.
Continuing from the previous volume, authors from three major competence centres for microengineering here cover all aspects of specialized replication techniques and how to employ state-of-the-art technologies for testing and characterizing micro-scale components, and illustrate quality control aspects and strategies for automation of production procedures in view of future industrial production and commercialisation.
