Abstract

To making MEMS structure design in an intuitive way and to reducing design iteration, a 3D feature-based collaborative structure modelling work flow of 3D silicon micro components is proposed according to 'function to 3D shape to fabrication' design methodology. Around this collaborative structure modelling workflow, design privileges are specified to designers through design multi-views, CSG/ B-rep solid model constructs the basis of feature modelling, distributed VR devices driving model is put forward to enhance man-machine interaction and P2P communication infrastructure is used to accelerate 3D model transfer through internet. Using a micro RF switch as an example, corresponding collaborative design flow and design multi-views is scheduled and execute on the collaborative micro-components modelling prototype.
