With the rapid development of modern mechanical processing and the rapid development of mechanical processing technology, many advanced mechanical processing technology methods have emerged, such as micro-machining technology, rapid prototyping technology, and precision ultra-precision machining technology.
Micro-machining technology
With the development of micro/nano science and technology (Micro/Nano Science and Technology), micro-machinery characterized by its small size or small operating scale has become a high-tech technology for people to recognize and transform the micro-world. Micro-machinery has the potential for application in aerospace, precision instrumentation, and biomedical applications because it has the ability to perform operations in a confined space without disrupting the working environment and objects, and has become an important tool for nanotechnology research. It is highly valued and listed as the first key technology of the 21st century.
Rapid prototyping machining technology
The rapid prototyping technology developed in the 20th century can quickly produce prototypes or parts based on CAD models. It is a kind of material accumulative processing manufacturing method, that is, through the orderly accumulation of materials to complete the three-dimensional forming. Rapid prototyping technology integrates modern scientific and technological achievements such as CNC technology, material technology, laser technology, and CAD technology, and is an important part of modern advanced machining technology.
Precision ultra-precision machining technology
An important part of modern machining and manufacturing technology in precision and ultra-precision machining is one of the important indicators to measure the level of high-tech manufacturing in a country. Since the 1960s, with the development of computers and information technology, higher requirements have been placed on manufacturing technologies. Not only do they require extremely high dimensions and shape accuracy, but they also require extremely high surface quality. It is under such market demand that ultra-precision machining technology has been rapidly developed, and various processes and new methods have emerged.
