“…Miniaturised components can be manufactured by (i) electro-discharge machining [7][8][9][10], (ii) laser micromanufacturing [11][12][13], (iii) lithography, electroplating and moulding (LIGA) [14,15], (iv) deep reactive ion etching [16,17], (v) deep UV lithography [18,19] or (vi) mechanical micromachining [20][21][22][23][24] technologies. Excellently precise geometrical features and small tolerances can be achieved by these micromachining technologies; however, their operation time and cost are often extremely high.…”

Recently, mechanical micro-milling is one of the most promising micro-manufacturing processes for productive and accurate complex-feature generation in various materials including metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. The micro-milling technology is widely adapted already in many high-tech industrial sectors; however, its reliability and predictability require further developments. In this paper, micro-milling related recent results and developments are reviewed and discussed including micro-chip removal and micro-burr formation mechanisms, cutting forces, cutting temperature, vibrations, surface roughness, cutting fluids, workpiece materials, process monitoring, micro-tools and coatings, and process-modelling. Finally, possible future trends and research directions are highlighted in the micro-milling and micro-machining areas.
