• Resumen

  • The development of new products with micro-metric characteristics and complex geometries has been a manufacturing trend in different industrial sectors, particularly for electronic, military, biomedical and aerospace industries. Manufacturing technologies such as electro discharge machining (EDM), laser beam machining (LBM), lithography machining (LM), and ultrasonic machining (USM) are commonly processes used to produce small pieces. Nonetheless, there are economical and technological barriers that reduce their feasibility for specific applications. Since CNC cutting machines and tools can achieve high levels of accuracy, micro-milling (milling downscaled process) represents a suitable technological process to manufacture micro-products. This thesis focuses on increasing knowledge about the micro-milling, establishing relationships between the process parameters as well as machining conditions and the key aspects of the final piece such as accuracy, quality surface finishing and geometrical quality
