Artificial Defects
Container Closure Integrity Testing Here we have three examples of creating artificial defects in parts. The first two serve as controls for Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT). The first example…

Microfluidic Nozzle Innovation
Precision MicroFab™ was contacted by Dr. Allen Maizes, M.D. to design and micro-manufacture a microfluidic nozzle embedded within a hypodermic needle. The nozzle produced increase turbulence for better ultrasound visualization…
Micro-molding
This is a micro-mold of a micro-fluidic mixer suitable for high volume production by hot embossing and cast silicone methods. The part was cut and joined via laser. The channels…
Micro-welding tube
We use lasers to micro-weld and micro-solder at a very small scale. These micrographs show a 0.900 mm stainless steel tube with a 0.150 mm wall thickness. Precision MicroFab clamped…
Micro-hole array
This micrograph shows an array of holes laser drilled entirely through a 1.0 mm thick microscope slide. The hole diameters are 26-29 µm at the top and taper down to…
MEMS Sensor
These sensors were cut from 25 µm thick MetGlas 2826MB for Dr. Grimes at Penn State University. The tabs are joined to the main body via 75 µm wide struts.…
Micro-channels
In these two projects, Precision MicroFab milled micro-channels in polycarbonate. The top image shows the hemispherical cross section of the micro-channels. Precision MicroFab also drilled via holes for inlet and…
Micro G-force sensor
This micro G-force sensor, designed to measure microscopic G forces in an aerospace application, was cut from 25 μm thick aluminum. The smallest section of the spring is just 30…
