SFB 499: Design, Production and Quality Assurance of Molded Microparts Constructed of Metals and Ceramics

微系统和小型化技术被认为是未来的关键技术。现有的生产技术主要来自微电子工业，因此仅限于非常小的材料托盘，二维几何形状，并且只有在大规模制造时才经济。499合作研究中心的目标是在各种材料的小批量和中等批量的微观尺寸上开发真正三维几何形状的生产技术。为了保证快速的技术转移到工业，从设计到质量保证的整个过程链从项目一开始就被考虑在内。

Microsystems and miniaturization technology are regarded as key technologies for the future. Available production technology is mainly adapted from the micro electronics industry and therefore is limited to a very small pallet of materials, two-dimensional geometries and is only economical for mass fabrication. The goal of the collaborative research centre 499 is to develop production technology for real three dimensional geometries in micro dimensions in small and medium lot sizes in a broad spectrum of materials. In order to guarantee a fast technology transfer to industry the whole process chain, starting from the design and ending with the quality assurance is regarded from the very beginning of this project.
