3D Fabrication of Needle Tip Geometry and Knife Blade

Invention SummaryThis invention presents a novel needle fabrication technique for creating a sharp, beveled metallic microneedle. Using a SU-8 mold structure, needle tip geometry with beveled dimensions can be controlled in 3D. The same fabrication method can be adopted to create a micro-blade with controlled blade angle.Market ApplicationsExisting...
