Abstract

Micro-cutting processes are very effective manufacturing methods for complex micro-parts used in MEMS, micro-dies, micro-structured surfaces on nonconductive materials, etc. Main challenge in employing conventional machining methods for fabrication of micro-parts and features is the unavailability of the smaller tools. Popular method like grinding is failed in miniaturizing the cutting tools because of rigidity problems. This became a driving force to research the alternative processes. Different processes like electro-discharge machining, wire electro-discharge machining, laser beam machining, focused ion beam machining, etc., are evolved to accomplish the need of new fabrication methods for micro-cutting tools. Each process has showed its capabilities and limitations through various machining experiments. In this chapter, an overview of the micro-tool fabrication processes along with their characteristics is presented. New micro-end mill tool geometry and a tool fabrication method are also presented.
