What Is Micro Machining?
Micro machining is a specialized subtractive manufacturing process for producing components with extremely small dimensions and intricate details.
While it operates on the same principles as conventional CNC milling and turning, it utilizes ultra-precise equipmentfeaturing high-speed spindles and miniature tooling, often with cutter diameters smaller than 0.010". This capability facilitates optimal chip loads and cuts clean micro-scale features.
This level of precision is critical for industries pushing the boundaries of miniaturization, including medical device manufacturing, aerospace, and micro-electronics. Common applications range from surgical end-effectors and implantable components to microfluidic channels and fiber optic housings.
Benefits of Micro Machining
Specialized capabilities for parts requiring extreme detail and sub-millimeter features
Sub-Millimeter Features
Ultra-precise equipment with miniature tooling, often cutter diameters smaller than 0.010", for optimal chip loads and clean micro-scale features.
Complex Micro-Geometries
Resolve complex 3D contours, thin walls, and micron-level details that standard CNC methods cannot achieve.
High-Accuracy Applications
Rigid, tight-tolerance components for sensing, actuation, and optics with reliable performance across scientific and industrial applications.
Vetted Specialized Network
Partners with specialized tooling and inspection equipment for micro-manufacturing, ensuring parts meet strict quality standards.
Materials Available for Micro Machining
Metals and engineering plastics suited to micro-scale features and tight tolerances
Aluminum
Exceptional machinability and dimensional stability. Harder alloys like 7075 preferred for micro-features with finer edge retention.
Brass, Bronze & Copper
Electrical conductivity and lubricity for micro-contacts and wear components. Brass C360 ideal for micro-turned parts.
Stainless Steel
Foundational in medical devices. Free-machining 303 and precipitation-hardening 17-4 PH for surgical instruments and implants.
Steel
Carbon and tool steels for hardness and wear resistance. Cold-finished or alloy steels like 4140 support micron-level detailing.
Titanium
Strength-to-weight and biocompatibility. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) effective for micro-machined aerospace and medical parts.
Engineering Plastics
Delrin and PEEK machine with metal-like precision. Softer plastics may require looser tolerance expectations.
