More than 100 researchers from many countries will share ideas on manufacturing techniques for newly developed miniature devices for a variety of industry sectors at the third International Conference On MicroManufacturing, Sept. 9-11 at Carnegie Mellon University.

Many fields, including medical, aerospace, military/defense, optics, automotive, consumer products, and communications, have been increasingly demanding miniature devices and components with complex micro-scale features made from a wide selection of materials. Some current applications of miniature parts - with dimensions ranging from a few micrometers to tens of millimeters - include miniature motors and turbines, micro-satellites, implantable medical devices, minimally invasive surgery equipment, micro robots, and miniature molds and dies. It is expected that miniature parts will be increasingly demanded in the future.

The 3rd International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM’08) focuses on the processes, equipment, and systems for fabricating miniature parts with micro-scale features. The conference will be held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
