MEMS Accelerometer Manufacturing Simulation

A Python-based simulation tool for MEMS accelerometer manufacturing processes visualization and parameter optimization.

Project Overview

This project simulates the manufacturing process of MEMS accelerometers, including machining, etching, plating, and bonding operations. It provides a graphical interface for parameter adjustment and real-time visualization of the manufacturing steps.
