Until recent years, micro-technology has been centred around microelectronics. However, with advances in process and material technologies, engineers have been able to broaden the
micro-technology spectrum to include mechanical devices.

Micromechanical technology is now at the heart of many products and devices that surround us today - products including ink-jet printers, blood pressure monitors and projection display systems.

Tecan draws upon its 30-years' experience of manufacturing precision parts to offer solutions to the World's most innovative and hi-tech engineering companies, producing custom specified
micro-parts and components used in a wide range of
micro-engineering applications.

Our team of experienced engineers work in close partnership with the customer to develop micro-parts with feature sizes and dimensions measured in microns. The team can share extensive process, materials and finishing knowledge, and are happy to be involved in the early planning stages to help ensure that any concept or design is efficiently optimised for production.
