Mikroniek June 2026: Design for Sustainability

The June issue of Mikroniek is devoted to Design for Sustainability. The main theme article presents the challenges of thin metal production for mass-manufactured energy systems.


Other theme articles include ASML’s sustainability policy and the TU/e Casimir Institute’s perspective on circular precision engineering. A first in this issue is the Manufacturability Update by Firat Büyükcivelek, which is to become a recurring feature. Also included are the design & validation of a piezoelectric wafer stage for electron-beam-inspection systems, a report of the DSPE Knowledge Day Cryo, and a rethinking of non-functional requirements in systems engineering.
