Isotropic Forming of Porous Structures via Metal Injection Molding
. Measurements of thermal conductivity show that the water-atomized powder had less thermal conductivity (~2 W/m-K) than the gas-atomized powder (~3 W/m-K). Introduction. Isotropic Forming of Porous Structures via Metal Injection Molding. Donald F. Heaney*, John D. Gurosik, and Chantal Binet

Combining Additive and Subtractive Techniques in the Design and Fabrication of Microfluidic Devices
by forming the inlet. growth was monitored using both optical forward scattering. and outlet channels that fed each of the wells into the. and fluorescence. Optical scattering was used to follow the. surface of the acrylic, again using the CO2 laser system to. growth of the colony in each well, while

Tips for no-melt machining
of plastics that work at high temperatures and that resist corrosion. What is interesting is that these materials serve in applications where conventional plastic-forming techniques either cost too much or won't allow quick and frequent design changes. Take the example of a clamp ring for polishing

MICRO:The 300-mm Imperative, by Gary Gallagher, p.81 (July '99)
for top automation flanges on FOUPs to facilitate overhead transport. OHT suppliers relying on robust and accurate FOUPs will also require precision pickup and placement. The entire automation system will consist of a group of interacting and interrelated components forming a very complex whole. Each

Where foam fits in medical design
surface area. Felted foams are often used for wicking, dispensing, and filtering. Thermoforming and vacuum forming apply heat, pressure, and vacuum to cold or hot materials to form a specific shape, pattern, or logo. Flowing contours and radii can be die cut in the same process, providing many
