Manufacturing Process It can be described as the conversion of raw materials into a final product shape by using the less expensive, fastest, easiest and efficient technical process. Manufacturing Process for Engineering Material It is a process to define and determine the apparatus, equipment and processes required to convert the design of the required product into a real final product by using the less expensive, fastest, easiest and efficient technical process. Metal Forming Process It is a very unique process of manufacturing, in which shape of the product can be changed by extracting some material from it or without adding any further material to it. Such kind of change in raw stock can be obtained through manufacturing process and plastic …show more content…
Plastic and metal fabrications are used in this manufacturing process and to get a final shape and desired design, there are some methods to follow. Fabrication processes comprise; cutting, forming, machining and welding. We can discuss the advantages and disadvantages of plastic fabrication. Advantages and Disadvantage: Though the results of this process (plastic fabrication) greatly rely on the exceptional uniqueness of the type of plastic used (nylon, acrylic, Plexiglas, etc.), the process itself has numerous advantages and disadvantages, which are given below: Advantages Disadvantages Reduced Finishing: Unlike most metals, plastics can be colored before fabrication; Finding the need for certain post-effective processes, such as …show more content…
Lighter Weight: Plastics naturally weigh less than metals of comparable proportions. Chemical Resistance: Plastics are generally less vulnerable to damage from chemicals or chemical reactions, such as corrosion or rusting, than metals. Limited Wear Resistance: Plastic has a low resistance threshold for high temperatures, and other corrosive essentials. Structural Weaknesses: The majority plastics are unsuited for applications requiring high structural strength, such as heavy tools components and most building materials. Typical uses of Plastic made Products and Major Industries in Which Plastic Fabrication Process is used? Polyethylene Terephthalate: 2-liter soda bottles, single-use water bottles, cooking oil bottles, peanut butter jars, etc. High Density Polyethylene: Detergent bottles, yoghurt tubs, milk jugs, bottle caps, backpack frames, hard hats, hula hoops, etc. Polyvinyl Chloride: Plastic pipes, Saran wraps, outdoor furniture, flooring, siding, etc. Polypropylene: Bottle caps, food containers, drinking straws, etc. Classification by product indicates that industries may belong to the automotive, electronics and aerospace groups.
