The invention relates to a method for the production of flat pneumatic and fluid micromanipulators in the prior art, micromanipulators are produced from three-dimensional components by a production process operating in three-dimensions. This technology allows, for example, the production of tubular manipulators for neurosurgery which can only have diameters of approximately 2-5 mm, only a restricted range of movement with up to three degrees-of-freedom. The movement mechanism is produced in the form of a plane. The base material is sheeting. At least two or a plurality of sheets are superimposed in layers and connected to each other to form a plane, thereby producing chambers and channels. The form of the resulting planes can be different and said planes may, in turn, be superimposed in layers and connected to each other to produce a complex moving apparatus.
