Precision at the Micrometer Scale

Micro machining, also known as micromachining, is a highly specialized manufacturing discipline focused on creating very small components or features with dimensions typically ranging from tens of micrometers up to a few millimeters. It utilizes ultra-precision CNC machines, extremely fine cutting tools, and specialized process controls to achieve unparalleled accuracy and surface finish.

This technology is critical for industries like medical devices, electronics, optics, and aerospace, where components often require intricate details, high dimensional accuracy, and exceptional surface quality in a miniature form factor.

Micro Machining FAQ

What is the smallest feature you can machine?

The smallest feature size depends on the material and geometry, but we can achieve hole diameters down to 50 micrometers (0.05 mm) and wall thicknesses as thin as 20 micrometers in some materials. Please contact our engineers with your specific design for a feasibility assessment.

How does micro machining differ from standard CNC machining?

Micro machining uses much smaller tools, higher spindle speeds, and lower feed rates. It often requires specialized equipment in a vibration-controlled environment. The material removal rates are very low, and precision is paramount, leading to significantly higher costs per part.
