A new MEMS manufacturing paradigm – democratized fabrication
Accelerating innovation in MEMS devices requires the establishment of a new manufacturing paradigm that democratizes access to microfabrication. In an ever-more interconnected world powered by IoT sensors and actuators, new application-specific technologies are rapidly emerging with unique fabrication requirements. Traditional manufacturing approaches create significant barriers to entry, limiting innovation to well-funded organizations. InchFab has developed a modular fabrication platform that breaks down these barriers, enabling rapid prototyping and production of custom MEMS devices. This democratized approach to MEMS fabrication accelerates device development cycles and empowers a broader community of innovators to bring their microscale ideas to life, ushering in a new era of accessible microfabrication innovation.

InchFab
Company Profile
The founders of InchFab developed the core fabrication technology that now drives InchFab – a ultra-low-cost scalable “micro-sized” fab platform. Today InchFab uses this platform to provide highly flexible and cost-effective foundry services to its customers and partners. In 2025 InchFab announced that the complete microfab equipment set and facility is being offered. This turnkey wafer fab is a low capex alternative to anything available. It’s ideal for startups, universities and low to medium volume corporations.
