To demonstrate the commercial viability of microfabrication and make microcomponents readily available to customers

High-tech start-up launched in 2007 by physicist Joachim Schulz of the Karlsruhe Research Center (now KIT)

High-end watch parts using X-ray LIGA technology

Expansion into micro gears, gratings, X-ray optical elements; Use of E-beam, laser, and 2-photon LIGA lithography; Cost reduction via improved techniques

Enabling superior, more efficient X-ray imaging through standardized and custom microparts
