摘要
This special issue in Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering contains seventeen papers contributed by prestigious experts from five countries, including one prospect paper, four research papers and twelve review papers. These papers cover a broad area of the ultra-precision machining, and focus on the recent advances on a wide variety of machining methods, such as precision molding, figuring, milling, lapping and diamond machining, to illustrate how various materials in the macro-scale or micro-scale can be machined with high precision, low surface^subsurface damage and ultra-smooth surfaces to meet the demands of numerous application areas, including high-power laser systems, consumer electronics, flexible devices, etc. Some other hot topics, such as the measurement and simulation technology in the ultra-precision machining field, are also covered to provide the readers with a more comprehensive view.
