Background and Motivation
The manufacturing of highly precise or micro structured parts with a precision in the submicron range
is a challenging task for mechanical processing machines. As an example the manufacturing of forms
for the reproduction of highly precise innovative optical elements with aspheric, free form or diffractive
surfaces sets very high precision requirements for the geometry as well as for the surface quality.

Scope
The workshop addresses users, developers and manufacturers of ultra precision equipment along the
production chain of innovative high precision manufacturing as well as producers of high precision or
micro structured parts like optical elements.
The workshop wants to provide a platform for the exchange of information, experience and new
approaches in the field of mechanical ultra precision manufacturing. Further the workshop is to
disseminate the results of the project “Production 4 Micro” and make them available to the community.
The workshop will address the topics

• overview of mechanical ultra precision processes and machines
• UP machine development
• development of components and tools for
• UP-machining
• control, automation and measurement
