- This work is the world' first publication presenting the advantages of using nanoscale multi-tip diamond cutting tools for massive production of micro/nano-structured surfaces as compared with traditional way of using single-tip tools. It provided an in-depth understanding of material removal process at atomic scales, which is an important theoretical support in the development of nanoscale multi-tip diamond cutting technology. This is now regarded as a step-change in ultra-precision-machining of structured surfaces. Industrial exploitations have been instigated on generating micro/nano-structure on big rollers for roll-to-roll machining (Contour Fine Tooling Ltd, Dr Andrew Cox andrew@contour-diamonds.com, a world leading diamond cutting tool supplier).
