Potomac Photonics to Present Webinar for MEMS Industry Group on New Prototyping Technologies

Lanham, MD, July 2011 Laser micromachining company, Potomac Photonics will present a webinar in the highly popular MEMS Industry Group [MIG] Education series. Scheduled for Thursday August 25 at 11:30 a.m. EDT, the interactive presentation, “New Prototyping Technologies Reduce Time to Market”, will explain how new prototyping technologies can assist in commercialization of miniaturized products for a large number of high technology market segments.

Potomac Co-founder, Sarah Boisvert, will highlight 2 new technologies and how they are being applied to prototyping.  The first case study will outline the operation of SensiDock, based upon National Science Foundation-funded R&D at Potomac. This Small Business Innovative Research project combines laser micromachining and other microfabrication techniques to quickly create packaging platforms for MEMS, sensors, microelectronics, and other miniaturized devices.

The second case study will discuss work done in the Texas MicroFactory at the Automation and Robotics Research Institute at the University of Texas/Arlington. The Texas MicroFactory was recently featured on CNBC for its innovation in micro-manufacturing. Two additional case studies will discuss the role of simulation in accelerating time to market.
