Design for Microassembly - A Methodology for Product Design and Process Selection

To deal with the high complexity of the products and processes in the microdomain a design for microassembly (DFμA) Methodology is introduced which aims to facilitate the efficient assembly of complex three-dimensional miniaturised devices. Currently neither the literature nor any of the common design for assembly (DFA) tools provide sufficient solutions for the microworld. The methodology's objective is to enable an increased transfer of products from the research laboratory into industrial practice.
