Leibniz IFW has some tricks up their sleeve


My favorite is the milling of micro patterns, but in a few weeks my advisor and I will be fly cutting micro dimples in cylinder sleeves for an unnamed top US engine manufacturer.  These micro dimples can reduce piston-cylinder friction by up to 17%.

Disclaimer: I try to limit my posts in the 'Projects' section to specifically my own work. I am not trying to take credit for the video or all that is shown in it, however as previously mentioned, I am currently working on methods to improve mirco dimple technology at the IFW.
