title: Microtechnologies: art or engineering?
abstract: Recent developments in micromachining are showing that much more can be achieved at acceptable costs than may have previously been thought possible. One of the biggest challenges, says the author, is unleashing the engineers' imagination. This article tackles some of the problems found in making and using machined microcomponents and offers some solutions.
