The are many different ways to construct two- and three-dimensional micro and nanostructures using a variety of fabrication techniques.  However, they are limited to producing batches of one over a very long time period.  Deposition processes are widely used for producing micro-nanotechnology (MNT) products at the present time.  This paper compares and contrasts a variety of deposition processes, including thermal and cold spray methods, in terms of speed of manufacture, quality of manufacture, and cost to produce MNT products.  Readers of this paper will be provided with an overview of the selection criteria used for producing MNT products when manufacturing with various deposition techniques.
