Drilling, sawing, milling, welding, and other mechanical techniques have been fundamental processes for manufacturing in a wide range of industries. These mechanical approaches, although effective in delivering high throughput at low cost, have certain limitations. As processes that require contact between the tool and the workpiece, they are dependent on the quality of the tool, which degrades with wear, resulting in inconsistent machining results and a need for frequent tool replacement. With these conventional techniques, fine features and complex geometries can be difficult or impossible to realize, depending on the required dimensions and shapes. When high machining quality is required, a secondary polishing process is commonly required to achieve the final desired quality.
