Desktop microfabrication : initial experiments with a piezoceramic

• A method for building microstructures from a suspension of micrometre-sized piezoelectric particles by depositing droplets on top of droplets and promoting drying is devised. A micromachined dispensing unit similar to a drop-on-demand inkjet-printer head is used. The relation of the vertical building rate to the ejection frequency and the substrate temperature is established, and a mechanism explaining the tubular structures built is proposed.
