This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project aims to develop a Modulation-Assisted Machining (MAM) system with novel capabilities for micro/meso-scale deep-hole drilling of biomedical components. The system is structured around a new device; an accessory developed for computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools. This new device superimposes a low-frequency sinusoidal modulation onto machining processes enabling controlled chip formation and easy disposal, enhanced lubrication of tool-chip contact, reduces energy consumption, and, potentially, a reduction in tool wear. When implemented in the appropriate system framework, unprecedented increases in productivity and efficiency of deep-hole drilling processes are envisaged. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project will be commercialize MAM technology in manufacturing of biomedical components and related applications in automotive and aerospace fluid systems manufacturing. Complemented by a strong education and training program. By driving the development of a class of clean machining processes with reduced effluent streams and energy consumption, and improved efficiency, this project will impact sustainable manufacturing for the discrete products sector, with broad societal benefits.

该小企业技术转让（STTR）第二阶段项目旨在开发一种具有微/中尺度深孔钻孔生物医学部件新功能的调制辅助加工（MAM）系统。该系统是围绕一个新的设备，一个配件开发的计算机数控（CNC）机床。这种新设备将低频正弦调制叠加到加工过程中，从而实现可控切屑形成和易于处理，增强刀具-切屑接触的润滑，降低能耗，并可能减少刀具磨损。当在适当的系统框架中实施时，可以预见深孔钻削工艺的生产率和效率将前所未有地提高。该项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力将使MAM技术在生物医学组件制造以及汽车和航空航天流体系统制造中的相关应用中商业化。辅以强有力的教育和培训计划。通过推动清洁加工工艺的发展，减少废水和能源消耗，提高效率，该项目将影响离散产品行业的可持续制造，并带来广泛的社会效益。
