The Micronarc Alpine Meeting carries on, this morning after seeing the way to produce chips, we discovered that actually the microsystems directly benefits from the watch industry know-how. Let’s see how.
Obviously parts can be done by different technologies and if dry etching is good enough to produce electronic parts, it can also be used to do something else, for instance parts for the watch industry. With the technology, we can then produce new parts that would have been impossible to machine with classical technology.
Advantages
- High mechanical stability
- Extremely high precision
- Flexibility
- Batch production
But then these parts are integrated into microtechnology assemblies. The Micronarc area is specialized in such jobs. There are a lot of potential of synergies in Switzerland. Some watch manufacturers are already benefiting from this technology.

Next we discovered how to manufacture micro precision parts by UV-Liga presented by Mimotec with Dr. Grégoire Genolet… I’ll come back on this technology in another post, it’s a very promising technology.
