This document discusses recent trends in non-conventional micromachining techniques. It describes several methods such as electrochemical micro-machining (EMM), micro-electrodischarge machining (MEDM), laser micro-machining (LMM), ultrasonic micro-machining (USM), and chemical micro-machining (CMM). For each method, it explains the basic principles, micro-machining processes, applications for micro components, and potential for future development at the nanoscale. The document also explores emerging nanomachining techniques using tools like atomic force microscopes and various top-down and bottom-up fabrication processes.
