Abstract
An out-of-plane microneedle manufacturing process comprises the simultaneous creation of a network of microneedles and the creation of a polygonal shaped hat above each microneedle under formation. The process comprises the following steps: providing bridges between the hats, maintaining the bridges during the remaining microneedle manufacturing steps, removing the bridges, together with the hats, when the microneedles are formed.
