Ultrasonic Milling
Ultrasonic Milling
Ultrasonic milling is a subtractive process that uses focused sound waves and an abrasive agent to remove materials. An oscillating part is used to vibrate small particles suspended in a fluid to gradually scratch away at a highly specific part of a substrate. This technique is well suited to milling brittle materials that would likely crack when milled using conventional mechanisms.
