Microelectromechanical systems

Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000233

Miniature devices that integrate mechanical and electrical components on a microscopic scale, typically fabricated using semiconductor manufacturing techniques. While traditionally produced by subtractive methods, additive manufacturing is increasingly explored for creating complex 3D microstructures and functional components for these systems. They are found in sensors, actuators, and microfluidic devices.
