Abstract

Micromachining emerges as a key technology for the future of manufacturing due to its many applications in miniaturization but also for macro scale components with features in the micro world, e.g. microgrooves or microholes. However, phenomena in the microscopic level are quite different from the ones encountered in traditional machining and thus the analysis of micromachining raises difficulties. Since the use of experiments is costly, difficult to perform and it is hard to measure parameters at this level, modeling is considered the best alternative for performing the required analysis. In this chapter a review of the modeling methods used in micromachining is provided. Most of the chapter is dedicated to mechanical micromachining and its modeling and simulation via finite elements; this is because this kind of micromachining exhibits the most differences in the microworld with size effect and minimum chip thickness being topics of great interest and because this method has proven to be the favorite for many research groups worldwide. The chapter closes with a brief discussion on other modeling methods and micromachining processes and a wide reference list for all the topics is included.
