Microfabrica, Inc

Microfabrica utilizes an additive manufacturing process to produce extremely small metal parts in large volumes on a wafer. The parts I have received from them have been very consistent and were of scales not easily manufactured by normal means. The only down side is the high develop cost during feasibility. The high output, however, makes their technology ideally suited for high volume runs.

Strengths: Extreme precision, sub millimeter size metal parts.

Needs to improve: Very high develop cost but low production cost

The metal components we purchase are for our Release system box for micro coils. The quality is tops and rarely do we hold up MFG for NC's from this company. The part is put into a kit for boxes to be built. We use this company for prototypes of new parts for new design concepts of our box.

Strengths: Good Quality MFG services for custom metal parts

Needs to improve: Long set up times and expensive for custom work
