ABSTRACT
The application of advanced micromachining processes increases in emerging areas of microengineering for various difficult-to-machine materials, metals, ceramics, etc. Currently, non-traditional micromachining procedures have extended their pertinence in the field of micromanufacturing and recommended improved prospects with numerous essential benefits that make these methods improved as well as more economical than traditional ones. Advanced micromachining procedures involve micro-wire EDM, micro-EDM, LBM, EMM, ECDM, micro-WEDG, vibration-assisted micro-EDM, 2etc. Non-traditional micromachining methods have been applied effectively to produce micro-features with greater accuracy. Hybrid micromachining is also employed successfully for producing intricate parts. In this study, various untraditional micromachining systems and hybrid processes are discussed properly.
