发明名称 Method for making a timepiece component
摘要 A method of manufacturing a timepiece component, such as a balance, an oscillating mass or a wheel, comprises a micro-manufacturing technique, such as the DRIE technique. The method may comprise forming at least one member in or at the periphery of the structure, of a material different from that of the structure. This member is typically metal and is formed by electro-forming using a cavity of the structure as a mold.

主权项 1. A method of manufacturing a timepiece component, comprising the steps: forming a structure of a first material by a micro-manufacturing technique, said structure having a periphery; and forming at least one element in said structure or at the periphery of said structure, said element being of a second material different from the first material, such that the final timepiece component comprises said structure and said element, and such that said element forms a single piece with the structure, wherein the step of forming said element comprises depositing said second material in a cavity at least partly defined by the structure, using said cavity as a mold.
