Micro-Cutting

<p><i>Micro-Cutting: Fundamentals and Applications</i> comprehensively covers the state of the art research and engineering practice in micro/nano cutting: an area which is becoming increasingly important, especially in modern micro-manufacturing, ultraprecision manufacturing and high value manufacturing.</p> <p>This book provides basic theory, design and analysis of micro-toolings and machines, modelling methods and techniques, and integrated approaches for micro-cutting. The fundamental characteristics, modelling, simulation and optimization of micro/nano cutting processes are emphasized with particular reference to the predictabilty, producibility, repeatability and productivity of manufacturing at micro and nano scales.</p> <p>The fundamentals of micro/nano cutting are applied to a variety of machining processes including diamond turning, micromilling, micro/nano grinding/polishing, ultraprecision machining, and the design and implementation of micro/nano cutting process chains and micromachining systems.</p> <p>Key features<br /> • Contains contributions from leading global experts<br /> • Covers the fundamental theory of micro-cutting<br /> • Presents applications in a variety of machining processes<br /> • Includes examples of how to implement and apply micro-cutting for precision and micro-manufacturing</p> <p><i>Micro-Cutting: Fundamentals and Applications</i> is an ideal reference for manufacturing engineers, production supervisors, tooling engineers, planning and application engineers, as well as machine tool designers. It is also a suitable textbook for postgraduate students in the areas of micro-manufacturing, micro-engineering and advanced manufacturing methods.</p>
