Abstract
New Drug Delivery Devices are produced using Selective Laser Micro Melting (SLμM). In a first approach, hollow mi-cro needles with an inner diameter of 160 μm were manufactured from 316L stainless steel powder. Afterwards, the hol-low micro needles were successfully filled with a test liquid. In a second approach, fully dense micro needles with an outer diameter of 200 μm were produced. A femtosecond laser setup was used to create discrete drug depots in fully dense micro needles.
