Abstract

Increased demands on micro-products and miniaturised systems/devices have been a main driver to the rapid growth of the interest in research in micro- and nano-manufacturing. Currently, micro-manufacturing research is bridging ‘nano-manufacturing’ and ‘macro-manufacturing’ and hence, helping to transform nanotechnology into real-world and affordable products, for which it is developing multi-length scale and multi-materials manufacturing capabilities. It is also playing more roles in helping transforming traditional industry and products to more competitive ones. Nevertheless, besides being shifted from ‘process focus’ to ‘market/product’ driven research and technological developments addressing production capability, product quality, pilot production lines and sustainability, there is clearly a need for micro-manufacturing research to adopt integrated, multidisciplinary approaches to address development-related issues concurrently, in order to shorten the development cycles for product realisation. It is believed that to transfer laboratory processes to industrial applications within much shorter timescales, the associated issues should be addressed with collaborations among different, relevant disciplines. European Union–funded integrated projects have demonstrated such efforts. Product development–centred approaches brought in expertise and resources in product design, material, analysis, testing, tools, machines, automation and manufacturing system integration as well as in life-cycle engineering to address the development needs. At the same time, due to ever updated interests in new products and enabling manufacturing technologies with a view to meeting increased demands from, for example, healthcare, on quality of life, for wealth creation, social engagement and sustainable development, there are new challenges to micro- and nano-manufacturing research, which also suggest tremendous opportunities.

集成、多学科的微制造研究方法,以及微制造的新机遇和挑战
对微型产品和小型化系统/设备的需求增加是微纳米制造研究兴趣快速增长的主要驱动力。目前,微制造研究是“纳米制造”和“宏观制造”的桥梁,因此,有助于将纳米技术转化为现实世界和负担得起的产品,为此,它正在开发多长度规模和多材料制造能力。在帮助传统产业和产品向更具竞争力的方向转变方面,中国也发挥着更大的作用。然而,除了从“工艺重点”转向“市场/产品”驱动的研究和技术开发,解决生产能力、产品质量、试点生产线和可持续性问题外,微制造研究显然需要采用综合的多学科方法来同时解决与开发相关的问题,以缩短产品实现的开发周期。人们认为,要在更短的时间内将实验室过程转化为工业应用,应通过不同相关学科之间的合作来解决相关问题。欧洲联盟资助的综合项目已经证明了这种努力。以产品开发为中心的方法带来了产品设计、材料、分析、测试、工具、机器、自动化和制造系统集成以及生命周期工程方面的专业知识和资源,以满足开发需求。与此同时,由于人们对新产品和制造技术的兴趣不断更新,以满足医疗保健、生活质量、财富创造、社会参与和可持续发展等方面日益增长的需求,因此微观和纳米制造研究面临新的挑战,这也意味着巨大的机遇。
