Extrusion
• Extrusion is a simple compressive metal
forming process. In this process, piston or
plunger is used to apply compressive force
at work piece.
Rolling
• Rolling is the process of reducing the
thickness or changing the cross section of
a long workpiece by compressive forces
applied through a set of rolls.
Die casting
• Die castings, sometimes known as
pressure die casting, in which molten
metal is forced into the mould called
“Dies” at high pressures ranging from
0.7 to 700 MPa, where it solidifies into a
metal cast.
Sand casting
• Sand casting is a type of metal casting
manufacturing technique that involves
the use of sand to create a mold.
Investment casting
• in which a wax pattern is used to shape a
disposable ceramic mold. A wax pattern is made in
the exact shape of the item to be cast. This pattern is
coated with a refractory ceramic material.
• Once the ceramic material is hardened, it is turned
upside-down and heated until the wax melts and
drains out. The hardened ceramic shell becomes an
expendable investment mold. Molten metal is
poured into the mold and is left to cool. The metal
casting is then broken from of the spent mold.
• good for parts with complex geometry
• High cost
Molding
Thermoplastics Thermosets
Molding
Injection molding
• Injection molding is a process in which
polymer is heated above its melting point,
resulting in the conversion of the solid
polymer to a molten fluid with a reasonably
low viscosity.
Compression molding
• Compression molding is a process of
molding in which a feeding material is
placed into an open, heated mold cavity.
The mold is then closed with a top plug
and compressed with large hydraulic
presses in order to have the material
contact all areas of the mold.
• Used for thermosets
• Low tool cost
• Slow process
• Not well suited for complex designs

Turning
• Turning is a machining process used to
make cylindrical parts, where the cutting
tool moves in a linear fashion while the
workpiece rotates.

Joining
Welding
• Welding is a fabrication process that joins
two or more parts are fused together by
means of heat, pressure or both , usually
metals or thermoplastics, by using high
heat to melt the parts together and
allowing them to cool, causing fusion.
3D Printing
• 3D printing or additive manufacturing is
the construction of a three-dimensional
object from a CAD model or a digital 3D
model.
