Abstract
MEMS design requires a good understanding of interactions in complex
processes and highly specialized interdisciplinary skills. Traditional
prototyping is not easy or cheap due to typically needing very expensive
manufacturing facilities for its implementation. Progress towards faster,
cheaper prototyping has been achieved but, it cannot be applied to MEMS
fabrication in general. This paper analyzes the benefits of Virtual
Prototyping for a simplification and aid in MEMS design and proposes the
continuation of MEMS Animated Graphic Design Aid (MAGDA) project. Its purpose
is to simplify preliminary design stages and make MEMS design more accessible
to a wider audience.
