Yi Qin is a Professor, Chair of Manufacturing Technology and Systems, and Director of the Centre for Precision-Manufacturing at The University of Strathclyde, UK.

Professor Qin’s research interests include materials forming, precision/micro-manufacturing and manufacturing system technology. His main contributions to knowledge to-date include numerical modelling and analysis methods for materials and manufacturing, new material synthesis and manufacturing processes, machine, tool and product designs as well as new manufacturing system concepts. As one of the leading experts in the field, Professor Qin has led a series of research and development projects, including several large-scale R&D projects in micro-manufacturing involving many industrial companies. To date, he has published over 250 technical papers in the journals and international conferences, given keynote speeches/plenary addresses at more than 30 international conferences and workshops worldwide, a member of the scientific committee for more than 50 international conferences, including the chair of the international conferences on new forming technology and manufacturing research.

Dr. Jie Zhao obtained her MSc in Mechatronics and Automation Engineering and PhD in micro-manufacturing of tubular micro-components, both from the University of Strathclyde. She currently serves as a Research Manager in the Department of Design, Manufacturing, and Engineering Management. Since 2007, she has worked as a researcher and project manager at the Centre for Precision Manufacturing and the Advanced Forming Research Centre, contributing to over 10 large scale R&D and commercial projects. Her research interests span micro-manufacturing process development and optimization for resource efficiency and sustainability, forming tool and machine system development, digital manufacturing and condition monitoring.

She has authored and co-authored over 30 technical articles and book chapters and delivered presentations at more than 20 international conferences and industry events. Additionally, she has served as a reviewer for various international conferences and journals specialising in precision engineering and micro-/nano-manufacturing.

De la contraportada

Micromanufacturing Engineering and Technology, Third Edition covers the major themes in micromanufacturing and the latest developments from industry and academia. Theory and manufacturing processes are addressed, as well as a wide range of practical aspects of micro-manufacturing engineering and utilization, such as design, modelling, materials, tools and equipment issues, automation and manufacturing systems.Maintaining a focus on low-cost and high-volume micro-manufacturing processes and process chains, this fully updated third edition features new material on micro-machining, Focused-Ion-Beam machining, laser-machining, micro-forming, micro-EDM, micro-ECM, Deep X-Ray Lithography, hot-embossing, micro-injection moulding, micro-sintering, inkjet technology, 3D printing and additive micro-manufacturing, micro-joining, surface treatments, micro/nano thin film depositions, and multiple processes machines and systems.Edited by one of the few world-experts in this relatively new, but rapidly-expanding area and presenting chapters written by a 50-strong team of leading industry specialists, academics and researchers, this book is an invaluable source of information for engineers, R&D researchers and academics.
