Solid-spaced filters are composed of one or several thin wafers of excellent optical quality acting as Fabry-Perot spacer layers. We study the different steps of the design and the manufacture of filters following dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing specifications. The design method of such filters requires a tight synergy between numerical simulations and experimental characterizations to c...

We assessed xurography and laser ablation for the manufacture of passive micromixers arrays to explore the scalability of unconventional manufacture technologies that could be implemented under the restrictions of the Point of Care for developing countries. In this work, we present a novel split-and-recombine (SAR) array design adapted for interfacing standardized dispensing (handheld micropipe...

sheet metal components design and manufacture need a great deal of experience and know-how. strip layout design is usually done with trial and error until best design for strip layout is finally achieved. knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theories, experimental results, and the empirical knowledge of field experts. in this paper, an algorithm which can automatically design ...

Abstract—The major challenges in Product Development are making products that function well at the same time easy to build. Difficulty in manufacture makes a product expensive and hard to fabricate. If the required geometry is difficult to manufacture, it requires extra care in production. Design for Manufacture and Assembly is the analysis and redesign of a product or concept to make it easier...
