Micromanufacturing Opportunities Expand
Summary:
The growth of micron and sub-micron manufacturing is presenting both challenges and opportunities for U.S. tool shops and parts manufacturers. Micromachining deals with extremely small details and holes, often smaller than a human hair, measured in microns?"one-thousandth of a millimeter.

The increasing demand for micron and sub-micron precision manufacturing is creating unique opportunities for tool shops and production parts manufacturers across the United States. Micromachining, which involves crafting parts and holes smaller than a human hair, measured in microns, is at the forefront of this expansion.
Nearly every industrial sector has shown interest in micromachining. Market studies indicate that the micromanufacturing industry was valued at $3.9 billion in 2001, with projections reaching $9.6 billion by 2006.
Experts at Makino, a leader in advanced machining technology, note that industries such as biomedical, personal electronics, optics, communications, military, aerospace, and automotive are increasingly focusing on micromanufacturing. These sectors see significant potential for innovative consumer and industrial products emerging frequently.
Smaller, lightweight components with enhanced functionality are compelling original equipment manufacturers to rethink their design and machining technologies. You might already encounter micromachined parts in devices like computers, heart monitors, cars, and cell phones.
The demand for high precision and superior surface quality in parts made from advanced materials such as metal alloys and ceramics is skyrocketing. Modern machines are now capable of drilling holes as minuscule as 0.00078 inches in diameter, far smaller than previous capabilities.
For machine manufacturers and suppliers, micromanufacturing isn’t simply an opportunity; it's a strategic necessity. By mastering these cutting-edge designs and tools, U.S. manufacturers can strengthen their competitiveness against foreign markets.
