**6. Conclusion**

Although it is recognized as a milestone in manufacturing technology, providing excellent flexibility and high precision, micromachining technology still needs to be improved upon and developed. However, in comparison to other modern techniques, micromachining offers advantages like low production costs, small batch sizes, and the ability to manufacture precise 3D surfaces in a variety of materials. The ability of micromachining technology to reliably fabricate much smaller features at very tight tolerances is one of its main advantages. Even though lithography-based manufacturing can produce finer component features, micromachining still has many advantages over it in terms of produced geometry complexity, material choices and accuracy. Furthermore, the technology shows promise in terms of its ability to close the gap between the macro and nano/microdomains.

Another major asset of micromachining technology is the way micromachining intersects with environmental sustainability [25]. Precise machining reduces the material waste. Novel equipment designs are focused on reduced energy consumption. Eco-friendly practices are being introduced in manufacturing processes as well as a tendency towards the recyclability of micro components and waste materials.

As technology advances and its impact extends across various industries, micromachining will continuously work on reshaping the future of manufacturing by

driving innovation and efficiency and redefining what is achievable in miniaturization and precision engineering.
