When it comes to machining, the material that springs to mind is likely to be aluminum, steel, or plastic. We don’t necessarily think of glass as a material suitable for machining, at least not in the ...

As finished products and component parts become smaller in line with design standards, and quality standards rise – precision manufacturing capabilities are becoming increasingly critical to machining ...

Fundamental fabrication issues for microscale components used in MEMS/Nanotechnology. Understand and designing microfabrication processes based on photolithography and deposition/etching steps. Micro ...

A fiber-laser marker machined a 25-micron thick metal foil to a depth of 13 microns. The channel width was 75 microns — and the depth variation was less than the width of a human hair. It is a fact of ...
