Course content
Each of the topics usually involves 1 week of theoretical preparation and 1 week of practical laboratory experiment. Topics: 1) Good laboratory practice - Safety rules and regulations 2) 3D CAD designing 3) 3D printing by FDM and DLP technique 4) UV and Soft lithography 5) Microblasting technology 6) Microfluidics devices

Learning outcomes
This practical course provides the basic insight into the technological cycle of microdevices fabrication for the field of biology and medicine. During the course, the planning and designing of the microsystems will be examined. Selected rapid prototyping techniques will be presented. Students will examine how to work with 3D printing technologies, with selected micropatterning technologies photolithography, laser lithography, soft lithography or ?contact printing). Also sandblasting technology will be presented. Based on the local technical background for microsystems fabrication, students will plan and fabricate their own microsystem under professional guidance. The fabricated microsystems will be tested for its functionality.
