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.
