Topic 01: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Manufacturing processes are the foundation of modern engineering, enabling the transformation of raw materials into functional components and finished products. Whether producing high-precision surgical implants, lightweight aerospace structures, or everyday consumer goods, manufacturing integrates science, design, and execution to bridge the gap between concept and reality.

This chapter introduces the core manufacturing processes that underpin mechanical engineering practice. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how materials are shaped, joined, and finished to meet specific functional, economic, and aesthetic goals. Drawing on principles from materials science, mechanical behavior, and process control, this topic emphasizes how process selection influences part performance, cost, tolerances, and scalability.
