Abstract

This paper describes design, microfabrication and characterisation of topology optimised compliant electro-thermal microactuators. The actuators are fabricated by a fast prototyping process using laser micromachining and electroplating. Actuators are characterised with respect to displacement, force and work, by use of image analysis. Four different actuators are presented. These actuators are capable of displacements of 30 μm and forces of 15 mN. The most recent actuator designs function in reasonable accordance with design predictions.
