MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641050545 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College; and Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 21, for 'bio-inspired convex textured cutting inserts.'
Inventor(s) include Naresh Babu M; Rahul AK; Khoushic Kumar T; Selva Vinayagam KS; and Shyam Soundar R.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "By combining cutting tool engineering with natural surface design principles, bio-inspired textured cutting tools with triangle shape offer a sophisticated method of enhancing machining performance. In order to lower friction and regulate chip flow, these tools use convex micro-textures on the rake surface that are modeled after structures like lotus leaves and insect exoskeletons. The textures reduce tool-chip contact area and improve lubricant retention in MQL conditions, while the triangle insert (60 included angle) allows effective cutting with reduced forces. As a result, the cutting temperature is lowered, built-up edge development is suppressed, and the surface finish is enhanced. Furthermore, the textured design prolongs tool life by reducing wear mechanisms. All things considered, bio-inspired triangle textured inserts provide a high-performing and environmentally friendly way to machine hard-to-cut materials."
