Nowadays, there are increasing demand on micro-systems, micro products/components and micro-devices. Thus, the role of micro manufacturing in all aspects of modern industry is taken for granted. Then, typical processes in micro manufacturing are discussed. Furthermore, one of the most widespread micro-manufacturing processes in deforming processes is micro forming that is presented in this paper. Finally, besides continuing effort in developing micro forming, this paper strives to analyze systematically the key methods of stamping, bending, forging and deep drawing processes and their prominent issues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
