Abstract

In the last two decades, products have been revolutionised by making them smaller, lighter and even more compact. Some of the requirements for making products smaller and lighter were borne out of the necessity to reduce global warming through the reduction of fuel consumption in moving parts (transportation industries). Also, the bulkiness of products in the past was partly as a result of manufacturing limitations, that is, unavailability of suitable manufacturing process to fabricate the smaller product. Miniaturisation has gained popularity in every areas of human endeavour, ranging from laboratory instruments which were once gigantic and can now fit into one’s palm (becoming handheld). The push towards miniaturisation is constantly being pursued in the research community through the development of manufacturing technology that promotes miniaturisation pursuit as well as constant development of these technologies. Advanced cutting technologies take a significant role in achieving miniaturised components since manufacturing these micro- and nano-components relied heavily on effective cutting processes. In this chapter, micro- and nano-machining using various advanced cutting processes that were presented in Chaps. 2–5 in this book is presented. A number of research works have appeared in the literature on these interesting areas of research and some of them are presented in this chapter.
