New strides in microengineering.

According to a report from Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, an alternative manner for fabricating microscopic parts will help realize microtechnology into the marketplace. Interestingly, the novel technique, called LIGA, grew on the outside of a need to create small parts for defense applications.
LIGA is a technique to create a mold upon a micron scale. It uses the mold to mass-produce tiny, 3D mode of buildings in a variety of materials including metals, polymer and ceramics. The name derives from the German acronym for a three-stage production proces
