Welcome to the South Australian Node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility

ANFF-SA Microengineering Winter School

The South Australian node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF-SA) specialises in world-class design and engineering solutions to deliver advanced manufacturing technologies to local, national and international users.

ANFF-SA’s FREE four-day Microengineering Winter School, from Tuesday July 9 to Friday July 12, provides students, researchers, academics and industry with a fascinating introduction to the design and fabrication of microfluidic/electronic, MEMS, optical and sensing chips.

Located at the University of South Australia's Future Industries Institute, in Mawson Lakes, ANFF-SA's sixth Microengineering Winter School includes presentations and practicals delivered by industry leaders and technical experts who introduce photolithography, design for photolithography, etching, PDMS devices, microelectrodes, characterisation, simulation and optical interference and spectra. 

Ideal for people interested in engineering microscopic devices used in the world’s newest technologies, ANFF-SA’s Winter School offers a great introduction to the design and fabrication of microfluidic/electronic, MEMS, optical and sensing chips, with hands-on experiences in world-class cleanroom facilities and career insight through local industry tours.
