Product miniaturization is a trend for facilitating product usage, enabling product functions to be implemented in microscale geometries, and aimed at reducing product weight, volume, cost, and pollution. Increased demands for miniaturized products have led to rapid technological development of microforming, one of the most popular micromanufacturing processes for manufacturing very small metallic parts in the submillimeter range. As a promising micromanufacturing technology, microforming possesses lots of advantages including high productivity, ease in manufacturing complex geometries, applicable to a wide range of materials, excellent product properties, short cycle, and ...
