Manufacturing
Human energy may also be required, but the human workers are generally employed to
control the machines.
Three categories of processing operations:
1. Shaping operations - alter the geometry of the starting work material
2. Property-enhancing operations - improve physical properties of the material without
changing its shape
3. Surface processing operations - clean, treat, coat, or deposit material onto the exterior
surface of the work
Shaping
1. Solidification Processes - starting material is a heated liquid that solidifies to
form part geometry
corrosion resistance
Examples:
3. Coating and thin film deposition - coating exterior surface of the workpart
Assembly Operations
Two or more separate parts are joined to form a new entity
