A method for manufacturing a micropump, which may be for the metered delivery of insulin, multiple layers being situated on the front side of a first carrier layer, which has a front side and a rear side, and microfluidic functional elements being formed by structuring at least one of the layers. It is provided that the structuring of the at least one layer for manufacturing all microfluidic functional elements is exclusively performed by front side structuring. Furthermore, a micropump is disclosed.一種製造微泵的方法,該微泵較佳用於定量輸送胰島素,其中,在具有正面(V)及背面(R)之第一支撐層(1)的正面(V)布置多個層,藉由對該多層中的至少一層進行構建來產生微流功能元件(12)。根據本發明,用於製造全部微流功能元件(12)之對該至少一層的構建僅藉由正面構建而實現。此外,本亦關於一種微泵。
