Course Overview

The rise of micro or miniature products has boosted the production demand for micro components. The Introduction to Mechanical Micro Machining certification course is designed to provide knowledge on mechanical machining at microscale with size ranging from millimetres to tens of micrometres. You will learn the distinctions in terms of components, process mechanics, etc., that a micro-cutting machine has from standard machines despite kinematic similarities.

The Introduction to Mechanical Micro Machining online course by SWAYAM is a 12-week-long programme created by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur. Throughout the course, you will learn how mechanical micromachining can machine ceramics, polymers and metals more rapidly than lithographic and other machining procedures like LBM, ECM, EDM, etc.

The Introduction to Mechanical Micro Machining online programme will also teach you about miniature machine tools, metrology and the practical applications of mechanical micromachining. This FDP course is also approved by AICTE. You can also get an e-certificate of this course on fulfilling certain criteria.
