Creation and fabrication of multi-scale
3D composite structures

Attempts to express new functions by creating nano to micrometer order fine structures on material surfaces, beginning with biomimetics, are spreading in various fields. Among them, our laboratory is developing mechanical and non-conventional machining process to create multi-scale 3D composite structures that combine uniform structures of nano or micrometer order, rather than just simply creating them.
For example, it is possible for us to create nano to sub-micrometer order fine structures on top (inside) of micrometer order structures. In particular, our laboratory is working on creating multi-scale 3D composite structures with high efficiency and a large area by developing a 3D ultrasonic spindle that can vibrate in 3 axial directions and making full use of ultra-precision and micromachining (cutting and grinding technology) that has been accumulated so far.
