SolidWorks is the #1 provider of 3D CAD software for EFAB Access, the new micro manufacturing service from MOSIS and Microfabrica. EFAB Access offers easy, low-cost access to Microfabrica's EFAB™ micro-manufacturing process for MEMS and micro devices. The service gives corporations, academics, research labs, and individuals the ability to design 3-dimensional MEMS and micro devices and have prototypes produced economically through MOSIS, the leading low-cost prototyping and small-volume production service for integrated circuits. A design guide for EFAB Access is available from Microfabrica.   Microfabrica's EFAB process sets a new benchmark in microfabrication, offering unprecedented 3D flexibility, ease-of-use, and quick time-to-market in a wide array of applications from wireless electronics to inertial sensing. The technology opens up a world of possibilities for MEMS, complex micro devices, and micro-mechanical parts previously impossible or impractical to manufacture. Microfabrica's free LayerView ™ software allows designers to visualize what the layers of their devices will look like when produced through the EFAB process, and facilitates manual checking of design rules. Users of EFAB Access will also receive a free license to LayerView™ Plus software which bridges the gap between SolidWorks designs and the layered 2D files that are needed to fabricate microscale devices.
