- "Manufacturing is the creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation."
It is the study of manufacturing and production processes, including designing efficient supply chain systems, examining production techniques, and developing effective quality control procedures.
Materials Science: Study of properties and behavior of materials, how they are processed and their applications in manufacturing processes.
Properties of Materials: Understand the characteristics of different materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites.
Solid Mechanics: Study of the behavior of solid objects under different stresses and strains.
Fluid Mechanics: Study of how fluids (liquids and gases) behave under different conditions.
Thermodynamics: Study of the relationship between energy, heat, and work.
Heat Transfer: Study of how heat energy is transferred from one place to another.
Manufacturing Processes: Understand the different techniques used to create products, such as casting, forging, welding, machining, and additive manufacturing.
Tool Design: Develop and optimize tools used to create products, such as molds, dies, and jigs.
Quality Control: Ensure that products meet defined standards and specifications.
Automation: Incorporating machinery and robots into the manufacturing process.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Design products using software programs that allow for 2D and 3D modeling.
Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM): Use software to control the manufacturing process, such as CNC machines.
Rapid Prototyping: Use 3D printing technology to produce a prototype of a product quickly.
Assembly Processes: Understand the different techniques used to join individual parts to create a finished product.
Lean Manufacturing: A systematic approach to optimize manufacturing processes and eliminate waste.
The Internet of Things (IoT): The use of technology to connect different aspects of the manufacturing process, such as machines, sensors, and servers.
Sustainability: Developing manufacturing processes that have minimal impact on the environment.
Nanotechnology: The study and manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular level.
Smart Materials: Materials that have properties that can change in response to external stimuli, such as temperature or pressure.
Biomanufacturing: The use of living organisms such as bacteria to create products.
- "The creation or production of goods with the help of equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation."
- "Raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale."
- "It is most commonly applied to industrial design, in which raw materials from the primary sector are transformed into finished goods on a large scale."
- "Aircraft, household appliances, furniture, sports equipment or automobiles."
- "Distributed via the tertiary industry to end users and consumers (usually through wholesalers, who in turn sell to retailers, who then sell them to individual customers)."
- "Manufacturing engineering is the field of engineering that designs and optimizes the manufacturing process, or the steps through which raw materials are transformed into a final product."
- "The manufacturing process begins with the product design and materials specification."
- "Modern manufacturing includes all intermediate processes involved in the production and integration of a product's components."
- "Some industries, such as semiconductor and steel manufacturers, use the term fabrication instead."
- "The manufacturing sector is closely connected with the engineering and industrial design industries."
- "Equipment, labor, machines, tools, and chemical or biological processing or formulation."
- "Manufacturing is the essence of the secondary sector of the economy."
- "These materials are then modified through manufacturing to become the desired product."
- "Manufacturing engineering designs and optimizes the manufacturing process."
- "The manufacturing process begins with the product design."
- "Usually through wholesalers, who in turn sell to retailers, who then sell them to individual customers."
- "The primary sectors include raw materials and the industrial design industry."
- "Such goods may be sold to other manufacturers for the production of other more complex products."
- "Aircraft, household appliances, furniture, sports equipment or automobiles."
