Abstract: A hybrid thermoplastic forming process involving sequential micromolding and microdrawing operations is developed to manufacture the multifacet/curvilinear geometries found on most surgical blades. This is accomplished ...

Abstract: This paper presents a fiveaxis ballend milling force model that is specifically tailored to microscale machining. A composite cutting force is generated by combining two force contributions from a shearing/ploughing slipline ...

Abstract: The microscale drilling performance of a Zrbased bulk metallic glass (BMG) is investigated in this paper. Crystallization, drill temperature, axial force, spindle load (SL), acoustic emissions (AE), chip morphology, hole ...

Abstract: The design and manufacturing process for a porousrestricted aerostatic lead screw actuator (ALSA) is presented. The ALSA provides nearfrictionless motion with submicron positioning accuracy, high stiffness at low inlet air ...
