The Burbank, Calif., developer of microdevice manufacturing technology said it took MEMS out of its name because the word is limiting. Whereas the term MEMS is commonly associated with microdevices based on silicon and built using semiconductor manufacturing techniques, Microfabrica’s devices can be made out of metals, built on different substrates and support 3-D flexibility, the release said.

MEMGen, founded in 1999, has developed the EFAB platform, which integrates 3-D computer-aided design with MEMS manufacturing processes. The company says its system can provide mass-production capability without a clean room.
