Types of Manufacturing Processes

Manufacturing processes are methods used to convert raw materials into finished products. The main types of manufacturing processes include casting, forming, machining, joining, and additive manufacturing. Casting: Molten material is poured into a mould and allowed to solidify into the desired shape. Forming: Materials are shaped by applying forces such as pressing, rolling, forging, or extrusion. Machining: Unwanted material is removed from a workpiece using tools. Common examples include cutting, drilling, and grinding.
