Application of Ultraprecision Microgrooves to Dental Implant and Blood Inspection

Ultraprecision micromachining technology is expected to be a potential tool of producing bio-related parts though it is a traditional one. The characteristic of the ultraprecision micromachining technology is the high possibility of selecting various kinds of metals and creating complicated shapes with high dimensional accuracy and surface quality. The study introduces two cases, dental implants and microchannel chips, by means of ultraprecision microgrooves as applications of ultraprecision micromachining technology. As seen from machined results, it is found that the ultraprecision microgrooving technology has the potential of producing a variety of bio-related parts as well as mechanical parts and optical elements.
