The use of conventional machining processes has been subject to important decline probably due to the increment in the use of emerging technologies. Therefore, the main applications of these traditional processes, such as automotive industry, are in crisis. In order to have a chance to compete successfully in the new trends, the machining industry must meet the needs of alternative sectors such as biomedical field. The aim of this study is to prove the capacity of micro-milling, by machining complex micro-cavities on aluminum workpiece using a conventional milling machine. Results are obtained by evaluating accuracy and geometric features. This study finds that the feed per tooth is a significant factor in order to obtain better results. The use of coolant increases the tool wear and therefore dimensional errors. This scope is a potential opportunity to reutilize the conventional machines from a new approach.

The fixture of motorized spindle significantly affect the vibration of micro high speed CNC milling machine, its performance can directly affect the machining accuracy of the entire micro milling machine. A special fixture of high-speed motorized spindle is designed in the paper and its static characteristics are checked by utilizing ANSYS finite element analysis software. To guarantee the sufficient strength of bolts and the safety of motorized spindle when the motorized spindle runs at high speed, theory analysis method and ANSYS finite element analysis method are used to make the strength check of the fixture. The designed special fixture for high speed motorized spindle plays an important part in the design of high-speed motorized spindle.

Micro-milling is one of the commonly used methods of fabrication of microfluidic devices necessary for cell biological research and application. Commercial micro-milling machines are expensive, and researchers in developing countries can’t afford them. Here, we report the design and the development of a low-cost (<130 USD) micro milling machine and asses the prototyping capabilities of microfeatures in plastic materials. We demonstrate that the developed machine can be used in fabricating the plastic based microfluidic device.

To meet the requirement for the machining of the ultra-precision, ultra-smooth and micro-structure surface, an ultra-precision three axes micro milling machine was developed with the positioning accuracy better than ±0.25μm and the repetitive positioning accuracy better than ±0.2μm of all the three axes. The machine is proved to achieve the nanometer scale step response. Through milling experiments with micro-diameter tungsten carbide milling tool, the cutting performance has been further proved: the milling accuracy of 50μm-high step on the workpiece of aluminum alloy is better than ±0.3μm; and the 3D surface of pure copper workpiece is as smooth as mirror, with a roughness reaching 40nm. At last, the thin-walled structure of 10μm thickness on the workpiece of aluminum alloy is milled.
