Manufacturing Processes - INI

Manufacturing processes refer to the technologies used to achieve the shape, dimensions, and functionality of products and parts using metal materials and others. Major processing technologies that support the foundation of manufacturing industry are included, such as cutting, grinding, welding, casting, forging, press working, heat treatment, and plating. These processing methods continue to evolve as important technologies supporting all industries including automobiles, aircraft, electronic devices, medical equipment, and construction materials.
