A high resolution machining setup for creating three-dimensional precision components from a
UV-curable photo-resin has been developed. By using frequency-converted diode-pumped solid
state lasers, functional micro-mechanical devices are directly fabricated in a successive layer-bylayer fashion. Within this paper, the direct generation of micro assemblies having
moving components without further assembly of parts will be presented. The micro system
design is based on user-defined 3D-CAD data and will completively be built up within the
fabrication cycle. By using specially developed μSL materials with suitable properties for micromechanical parts, the development from Rapid Prototyping towards Rapid Production of small
series is intended.Mechanical Engineerin
