The structural characteristics of micromachining mainly include the following aspects:
Small size: One of the main characteristics of micromachining is the processing of micron/nanoscale structures, which makes the size of the machined parts very small. For example, the size of micromechanical parts is usually between 0.01 and 10 mm.
High precision: Since micromachining involves very small sizes, the requirements for machining accuracy are very high. Factors such as friction and thermal deformation at the microscale require high-precision control to ensure the accuracy and stability of parts.
Diversity: Micromachining technology can be applied to a variety of materials, including silicon, polymers, metals, ceramics, etc. Different materials require different processing technologies and process parameters, but they can all be precisely controlled in micromachining.
Flexibility: Micromachining technology is highly flexible and suitable for the production of micro-components with complex shapes. It can be used not only to manufacture simple geometric shapes, but also to manufacture complex 3D structures.
Mass production: Micromachining is often batch molding, which is suitable for large-scale production. This production method can improve efficiency and reduce costs, and is suitable for small parts that need to be mass-produced.
