Abstract
The study presents a novel approach to the fabrication of a biomedical-slide mold for in-situ producing convex platform quantitative cell-counting slides made of PMMA. The process incorporates three important procedures: 1) the development of a high-precision hybrid dual-spindle CNC machine tool; 2) the formation of a boron-doped polycrystalline composite diamond (BD-PCD) wheel-tool on the machine tool developed; and 3) the cutting of a multi-groove -biomedical-slide mold array using the formed diamond wheel-tool in-situ on the developed machines. The factors influencing formation of the wheel-tool and generation of the microgroove array are discussed in detail.
