This aims to provide the student with an insight into the manufacture of high quality surfaces through the application of precision micromachining. A laboratory based session with a strong emphasis on practical aspects and associated metrology. Students will participate in the generation and assessment of micro-machined surfaces. The session will cover the physical principles, operating characteristics and practical applications of the processes.
