This paper presents a review of recent advances in modeling and simulation of conventional
metal machining processes, which continue to dominate a significant part of all machining …

The need for using alternative processes rather than electro-discharge machining (EDM) for
micro-parts has allowed micro-manufacturing (also known as precision engineering) to …

Micro-end-milling is capable of machining complex structures in a wider variety of materials
at the micro-and meso-scales as compared to other micro machining processes. However …

This keynote paper addresses the manufacturing of high-precision components with micro-
scale features, and the associated process chain considerations. Three workpiece …

Accurate force model during batch precision machining is the basis for optimizing milling
parameters and maintaining process stability. Tool radial runout is inevitable and affects …

Prediction of cutting forces in micro end milling is a key aspect for both quality of machining
surface and safety of the tool. Further, estimation of cutting coefficients is very much crucial …

This article presents a mechanistic model to predict thrust force and torque in micro-drilling
of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates. Tool edge radius effects are …

Prior to a critical value of uncut chip thickness (UCT) or the so-called minimum uncut chip
thickness (MUCT), the micro milling process is affected by ploughing which causes …

This paper presents the modeling of cutting forces and instantaneous tool deflection in the
micro end milling process. The cutting forces directly lead to the tool deflection, which will …

The concept of miniaturizing machine tools has received a strong interest in the research
community due to their ability to fabricate intricate components. Lower power consumption …
