Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of British Columbia
$149,440.00
Laser micromachining for biomedical microdevices
FY 2008-09
Summary
This proposal is requesting funds to purchase a laser micromachining tool for biomedical microdevice and MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) research. A laser micromachining tool has a pulsed laser, optics, CAD software and motorized X-Y stage. This tool is critical to support MEMS research at UBC. Novel medical stents, microfluidic devices, and advanced materials will be fabricated using this tool.
