Beschreibung

In the fjelds of micro system technology, medical engineering and biotechnology the use of components with filigree structures becomes an increasingly issue. The manufacturing of such components is realized by e.g. miero milling tools. The micro end mills have been produced individually and therefore incur higher manufacturing costs. The batch production is an approach to increase cost-efficiency of the micro milling pracesses by simultaneous manufacturing of several tools. In this paper a new manufacturing method of silicon carbide (SiC) micro end milling tools is presented and the performance is investigated. The experiments will show which aspects by the manufacturing process have to be considered to achieve a higher performance of the tools.
