Riassunto

Micro-manufacturing Engineering and Technology helps to unlock the potential of new micro-manufacturing technologies which are now being deployed at an industrial scale. Providing a detailed examination of the technologies of micro-manufacturing and exploring how manufacturing processes function differently at the micro-scale, this book presents a holistic approach to the new manufacturing which will become essential reading for engineers and technology management alike.

Micro-manufacturing Engineering and Technology takes an end-to-end approach to the manufacturing challenges and opportunities presented by working at the micro-scale. As well as providing a survey of the technologies of micro-manufacturing, the book investigates how the organizational side of manufacturing, such as process improvement methods, plays out in micro-manufacturing. In addition, the economics of micro-manufacturing are explored, and the ways that these new technologies will bring changes to the wider economy

Although micro-manufacturing is growing in importance in the modern economy; the technologies it employs are not well understood. This book provides a detailed explanation of the key emerging technologies for micro-manufacturing, such as micro/ nano-mechanical cutting, laser machining, micro-forming (bulk-, sheet- and tube-forming, laser forming), micro-EDM, embossing (hot & UV), LIGA, injection molding, thin-film technologies, surface engineering, mechanical assembly, laser joining, micro-tooling and process chains, handling, measurement, testing, micro-mechanics modeling, manufacturing execution system, and sustainability analysis

The technologies and processes of micro-manufacturing are explored through Case Studies which illustrate these areas from different perspectives - material selection, product design, process engineering, control engineering, tools and equipment, etc.
