Launched in 1st July 2004, MASMICRO is an Integrated Project for the Integration of Manufacturing Systems for Mass-manufacture of Miniature/Micro-Products, supported by the European Commission under the Framework Programme 6 (FP6). This four-year flagship micro-manufacturing project involves a consortium composed of 36 partners from 13 EU countries, including 18 industrial partners. The total budget of the project is over 21 million euros.

Technologies and systems to be developed will bring new technological and organisational measures to realise/improve mass production of miniature and micro-products with greater efficiency. The target is to cut down manufacturing costs by approximately 40 to 80%, depending on the component-forms to be produced.
