摘要:Microcasting is one of the key technologies enable the manufacture of small structures in the micrometer range or of larger parts carrying microstructures by using a metal melt which is cast into a microstructured mold. Microcasting, is generally identified with the investment casting process, which is known as the lost-wax, lost-mold technique. A main step in micro investment casting is making disposable patterns which have sufficient mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy. In this study a review on available microfabrication methods to produce such patterns has been down and possible processes have been compared in order to select the best process.
