The choice of manufacturing process depends heavily on the material's properties:
Most commonly processed via injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding .
Enhances appearance or performance through polishing, plating, or coating . These processes protect against corrosion and improve wear resistance. 3. Joining & Assembly
Typically shaped via casting, forming, or machining due to their high ductility and melting points.
Manufacturing processes are generally divided into two main categories: (which change the material's state) and assembly operations (which join components). 1. Shaping Processes These methods define the physical geometry of the part.
Joining involves permanently or semi-permanently connecting parts.
