MASMICRO Demonstration Day, Stuttgart
4 October 2006 - 4 October 2006
Austria
Project Overview
With a total budget of €21.5 million, the four year Masmicro project will develop an integrated production facility for mass-manufacture of miniature and micro-products. Launched in July 2004, Masmicro is an integrated project supported by the European Commission under Framework Programme 6 (FP6). Coordinated by the University of Strathclyde, the consortium gathers 36 partners from 13 EU countries, including 18 SMEs.
To date, manufacture of miniature and micro-products still largely relies on the techniques based on the removal of the materials, either by chemical or mechanical means. The objective of the Masmicro project is to convert miniature and micro-materials into engineering products by high rate plastic deformations.
This type of technology will greatly reduce costs and equipment size for the manufacture of miniature and micro-components for the electronics, automotive, aerospace, automation and medical sectors. Technologies and systems to be developed will bring technological and organisational measures to realise mass production of miniature and micro-products in a scale that has not been achieved so far.
Aim of the Event
The main goal of the event is to disseminate to industry the results and achievements of the project to date. Delegates are invited from industry, academia and potential investors to learn of the results of the project so far through both presentations on each section of the project and an exhibition area. The day will also provide a forum for delegates from industry and academia to collaborate on similar projects.
