Micro machining is a type of manufacturing technique used to produce small and precise parts, components, and structures. This manufacturing process involves using advanced technology to cut and shape materials at a microscopic level. Micro machining typically uses sophisticated CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines and specialized cutting tools to create intricate and complex features. The process is commonly used in applications such as the CNC machining medical, aerospace, and electronics industries, where precision is paramount. The custom micro machining process demands a high level of technical expertise and equipment and can be used on a variety of materials including metallic alloys, ceramics, and plastics.

Micro machining and other types of machining are similar in that they involve cutting, shaping, and drilling materials to create parts or components. However, micro machining involves creating parts and components on a much smaller and more precise scale than traditional machining processes. Custom micro machining uses advanced CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines and specialized cutting tools to operate at a microscopic level, and it is typically used to produce parts with dimensions of millimeters and micrometers. Other types of machining such as precision Swiss machining typically produce larger parts or components using standard machine tools. Custom micro machining requires a high level of technical expertise, specialized equipment, and precision calibration to produce highly accurate parts.
