an essential companion to all those working in micro and nano
engineering. As products continue to get smaller and smaller, the
field of micromanufacturing has gained an international audience.
This book looks at both approaches of micromanufacturing: top-down
and bottom-up. The top-down approach includes subtractive
micromanufacturing processes such as microturning, micromilling,
microdrillling, laser beam micromachining and magnetic abrasive
finishing. The bottom-up approach involves additive manufacturing
processes such as microforming, micro deep drawing, microforging,
microextrusion, and microwelding. Additionally, microjoining and
microhybrid manufacturing processes are discussed in detail. The
book also aids engineers and students in solving common
manufacturing issues such as choice of materials and testing. The
book will be of interest to those working in micro and nano
engineering and machining, as well as students in manufacturing
engineering, materials science and more.

Today's organizations find themselves in a race to adopt new
technologies in order to keep up with their competition. However,
two questions must be answered: Are these organizations ready for
new technological advancements, and are these new technologies
appropriate for every organization? Technological Challenges and
Management: Matching Human and Business Needs focuses on the new
advances and challenges that today's organizations face in the
areas of human resources and business, resulting from continuous
and highly complex changes in technological resources.
Organizations need to implement a more proactive and flexible
management, matching their human and business needs. Due to this
reality, it is important to study and understand varied
contributions made by researchers, academics, and practitioners in
this field of study worldwide. With the focus of this reality, this

challenges that organizations face today. This is especially true
concerning the relationship between technological changes, human
resources management, and business. They propose the sharing of
knowledge, through debate and information exchange, about
technological challenges and management, matching the critical
items of human and business needs. The book is divided into seven
chapters that span from evaluating new technologies to finding the
perfect fit.
This book is the third in the Woodhead Publishing Reviews:
Mechanical Engineering Series, and includes high quality articles
(full research articles, review articles and case studies) with a
special emphasis on research and development in machining and
machine-tools. Machining and machine tools is an important subject
with application in several industries. Parts manufactured by other
processes often require further operations before the product is
ready for application. Traditional machining is the broad term used
to describe removal of material from a work piece, and covers chip
formation operations including: turning, milling, drilling and
grinding. Recently the industrial utilization of non-traditional
machining processes such as EDM (electrical discharge machining),
LBM (laser-beam machining), AWJM (abrasive water jet machining) and
USM (ultrasonic machining) has increased. The performance
characteristics of machine tools and the significant development of
existing and new processes, and machines, are considered. Nowadays,
in Europe, USA, Japan and countries with emerging economies machine
tools is a sector with great technological evolution.
