The second workshop about ceramics processing and application was held during the Hannover Fair on 21st of April 2009. The focus was put on the fabrication and processing of ceramic microcomponents using different techniques like ceramic injection molding, LTCC-fabrication and abrasive waterjet cutting technology. In the concluding discussion the costs were identified as fundamental bottleneck for the success of ceramic microcomponents.

The first of two seminars about ceramic processing and application was held in Goteborg the 11th of March.

In total 15 persons attended the workshop. The focus of the seminar was on applications for ceramics in Sensors & Actuators, but we also covered the Injection moulding of Ceramic Micro Components, Tape Casting and information about the Multi Layer Project.

The second seminar will be held in Hannover Fair on the 21st April 2009.

TU Wien are organising this 4M Workshop on the topic of:

"Devices for harsh environments (materials, processing, characterisation)"

A joint workshop between 4M Ceramic and Sensor & Actuators divisions will be held in Goteborg the 11th of March. This event is three fairs in one and the topics are Polymers (Scanplast), Design (Konstruktion och Design) and Electronics (Electronix).

VENUE: Svenska Mässan, Göteborg, Room R4

REGISTRATION: This workshop is free but pre-registration is required for free lunch.
