Comment: Future of medicine is driven by the concepts of early, remote and patient-managed diagnostic, teleasistance, minimal invasive and TIC enhanced treatment, to improve service, effectivity and reduce costs. All these advances rely on novel biomedical devices, which are currently being designed and developed, but which are complex and expensive to manufacture with current technologies. Advanced microrreplication developed in FaBiMed will allow to produce such novel devices in a cost effective way, while keeping the flexibility required for patient-specific functionalization.

Comment: Customization (patient specific features) is one of the main drivers of the project: modular replication tools with reconfigurable details will be demonstrated, as well as reversible and reconfigurable nano-

Comment: Micron-resolution and high aspect ratio microrreplication of keramics is a novel approach which will be faced in this project, both for keramic microneedle production and for highly customized piezotransducers.
-
Comment: The project will deal with the combination of meso/micro/nano feature integration by combination of micromachining and nanostructuring technologies, while keeping cost efficiency through the use of proper coating and reconfigurable nanostructuring, to enable multiple nano-enabled functionalization in the same microstructured mould.

Comment: Direct fabrication of toolings by modular inserts and additive manufacturing, will allow resource efficient tooling, and resource efficient mould reconfiguration for reducing the cost of small batch fabrication.
