Abstract

Micro-machining technologies have been the subject of many studies and developments over recent decades due to their importance in the production of micro-moulds, micro-valves, medical components, micro-electrical-mechanical-systems, sub-miniature actuators, motors and micro-products generally. This chapter defines some key terms (in the context of micro-machining) and then outlines material considerations, challenges in obtaining the desired surface finish, simulation techniques, process and machine aspects of micro-machining, and it finally provides examples of micro-manufacturing sectors and applications.
