| Dr. A. Peter Jardine and Mr. A. Nguyen Le, Shape Change Technologies LLC, 2985 E. Hillcrest Drive, Suite 108, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362 The development of three dimensional shapes in thin film TiNi has been extended using removable and/or sacrificial scaffolds to generate structures with both one way and two way shape memory properties. In this paper, we will discuss some of the generic forms that are achievable using sputter deposition and some of the challenges that these forms engender in respect to large scale manufacturing | ||
