Figure 8From: Micro-scale Realization of Compliant Mechanisms: Manufacturing Processes and Constituent Materials—A ReviewThe steps of the LM-RIF process: (A) Molds are fabricated on high purity refractory substrate via patterning of SU-8 photoresist, (B) The fabricated molds are then infiltrated with a high solid loading colloidal suspension using a screen printing squeegee; (C) The combined mold removal and sintering form a dense final part; (D) Freestanding parts are left on the original substrate [80] (©Copernicus GmbH.
