This book covers the recent developments in the production of micro and nano size products, which cater to the needs of the industry. The processes to produce the miniature sized products with unique characteristics are addressed. Moreover, their application in areas such as micro-engines, micro-heat exchangers, micro-pumps, micro-channels, printing heads and medical implants are also highlighted. The book presents such microsystem-based products as important contributors to a sustainable economy. The recent research in this book focuses on the development of new micro and nano manufacturing platforms while integrating the different technologies to manufacture the micro and nano components in a high throughput and cost effective manner. The chapters contain original theoretical and applied research in the areas of micro- and nano-manufacturing that are related to process innovation, accuracy, and precision, throughput enhancement, material utilization, compact equipment development, environmental and life-cycle analysis, and predictive modeling of manufacturing processes with feature sizes less than one hundred micrometers.

Continuous improvements in machining practices have created opportunities for businesses to develop more streamlined processes. This not only leads to higher success in day-to-day production, but also increases the overall success of businesses. Non-Conventional Machining in Modern Manufacturing Systems provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of technological advancements in industrial environments and applications in manufacturing. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as optimization techniques, electrical discharge machining, and hot machining, this book is ideally designed for business managers, engineers, business professionals, researchers, and academicians seeking current research on non-conventional and technologically advanced machining processes.
