The purpose of this part of the exercise is to find out more about the characteristics of the common manufacturing processes used to process metals, ceramics, polymers and composites.
The task is to select a process from each of the following categories and present a summary of each. For each process give an example (or examples) of materials processed by the given technique.
1. Casting 2. Joining (via a thermal welding technique). 3. Extrusion 4. Composite lay-up techniques. 5. Injection Moulding 6. Powder Processing (sintering) 7. Laser-based Rapid Prototyping 8. Nitriding (a surface treatment)
