Click the categories below to learn more about manufacturing processes or select archive for the complete list
Molding
Perhaps the most prevalent manufacturing category for consumer products. Our world has been shaped by processes like Injection Molding and for good reason.
Subtractive
Including Machining, Turning, Grinding, Cutting, Etching, and so much more. Likely the oldest manufacturing category but still has a dominant place in the manufacturing world today.
Additive
A fairly new category that encompasses 3D Printing and other similar processes. Less often used in scale manufacturing but revolutionary for prototyping and making geometries otherwise impossible.
Finishing
Includes painting, powder coating, anodizing, assembly, gluing, and tape. The category that often brings together the final product and often the toughest to get done right.
Forming
Think of the sheet metal body of a car, paper clip, skateboard. Often using flat material and pressing, bending, stretching, or stamping it into shape.
