Micro-machining in the UK
17 of 2017 verified UK manufacturers on cmgraph's CNC Machining — UK lens offer micro-machining — <1% of the cohort.
Machining of sub-millimetre features and miniature parts — micro-diameter tooling, high-speed spindles, and metrology able to verify what was cut. The capability is defined by achievable feature size and tool diameter, not by the part envelope.
Also known as micro milling, micro turning, miniature part machining or small part machining.
