Abstract
The paper addresses the questions of how micro products are designed and how they are manufactured.
Definitions of micro products and micro engineering are discussed and the presentation is aimed at
describing typical issues, possibilities and tools regarding design of micro products. The implications of the
decisions in the design phase on the subsequent manufacturing processes are considered vital. Finally,
