Sheet Metal Meso- and Microforming and Their Industrial Applications

The book presents a compilation of research on meso/microforming processes, and offers systematic and holistic knowledge for the physical realization of such developed processes. It discusses practical applications in fabrication of meso/microscale metallic sheet-metal parts via sheet-metal meso/Microforming with industrial examples.
