3D Microfabrication relates to the engineering of bulk solids on the micrometre or submicrometre scale. Although the term nanofabrication might be considered for the submicrometre scale, it is not in common use, and tends to relate to a bottom-up approach (while microfabrication more often uses top-down approaches). Simple surface treatments, or substantially two-dimensional methods, are not considered to be 3D methods.

  • 3D Microfabrication relates to the engineering of bulk solids on the micrometre or submicrometre scale. Although the term nanofabrication might be considered for the submicrometre scale, it is not in common use, and tends to relate to a bottom-up approach (while microfabrication more often uses top-down approaches). Simple surface treatments, or substantially two-dimensional methods, are not considered to be 3D methods. Conceptually, a 3D microfabricated object should be created with three-dimensional resolution and can ideally be freely manipulated (i.e. can be fabricated without any necessary attachments to substrates).
