Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of micro-scale part manipulation and assembly. Parts less than 10×10×10 cm³ in size need special attention when they are designed. There is a need for handling tools, feeding systems, and fastening methods that resemble macro-scale industrial systems but are of a special nature. No effort has been made prior to this presentation to collect the data in any systematic form for designers. The Finnish DFA-Tool software version 3.0 is the first attempt to try to formulate this problematic in a systematic and suitable presentation for product designers.
