Energy manufacturing Prof. Burak Ozdoganlar, Associate Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of Materials Science and Engineering Carnegie Mellon University
What is Micromachining? • Mechanical Micromachining • Micromilling, Microdrilling • An emerging micro-manufacturing technique • Machining features with characteristic dimensions less than 1 mm (0.040 in) • Usually less than 500 micron (0.020 in) in diameter (tools in milling and drilling)
Multiscale Manufacturing and Dynamics Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University Microscope • 160,000 rpm air-bearing, air-turbine spindle • Linear Motor Actuated Slides with 10 nm precision • High-Speed Camera 3-axis Precision Slides Micro End-Mill Spindle Kistler® Miniature Dynamometer IR Speed Measurement Workpiece
Micromachined Parts from MMDL Stainless Steel Copper Aluminum 7075 PMMA Steel Natural Polymer Naval Brass
Micromachined Parts from MMDL (Cont’d) • Polymer and metal pillars and pyramids
Energy Systems • Would smaller ones makes sense in terms of efficiency? • Specific Challenge • Large-area micro-featured structures (e.g., stamping and rolling dies) • Ideas for Meeting the Challenge • Systems approach to micro-manufacturing
