Surface finish
Surface finish is the nature of a surface as defined by the three characteristics of lay, surface roughness, and waviness.
Manufacturing Processes
Manufacturing processes are the methods and techniques used to transform raw materials into finished products as per customer requirement.
Difference between Sand casting, Die casting and Investment casting
Sand casting, Die casting, and Investment casting are widely used casting processes worldwide to make metal parts for the consumer, automobile, medical and aerospace industries.
Injection Moulding
Plastic Injection moulding is a widely used manufacturing process to produce plastic components due to its affordability, effectiveness, and high reliability.
CNC Machining
CNC machining is currently the most extensively used subtractive manufacturing process today, and it is a highly flexible and durable method for creating custom metal and plastic parts
Powder metallurgy
Powder Metallurgy (PM) is a metal solidification technique that involves compacting metal powders into a die and heating it to temperatures just below their melting point to fuse by sintering to create a rigid 3D component.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing is a large-scale production of goods using energy, manual labour, machinery, tools, and manufacturing processes to convert raw materials, parts, and components into finished items by changing geometry, properties, and appearance
Water Jet Machining
Water Jet Machining (WJM), also known as Hydrodynamic machining or Water Jet Cutting (WJC), is a CNC cutting process that uses a high-pressure water jet to cut material and create 3D parts.
Manufacturing Processes
Manufacturing is a large-scale production of goods using energy, manual labour, machinery, tools, and manufacturing processes to convert raw materials, parts, and components into finished items by changing geometry, properties, and appearance.
Metal Casting
Molten metal is poured into a desired geometrical shape mould cavity and cooled to produce a solidified object in metal casting.
Sand Casting
In sand casting, molten metal is poured into an expendable sand mould cavity where it solidifies to form the cavity shape part
Investment Casting
In investment casting, a wax pattern is coated with a refractory material to make a mould, which is then melted away before pouring molten metal into the cavity to solidify.
Urethane casting
Urethane casting makes high-quality plastic and rubber prototype components using two-component polyurethane resins and silicone moulds.
Centrifugal casting
Centrifugal casting uses inertial forces induced by rotation to distribute molten metal into mould cavities to cast cylindrical
Die casting
In Die casting, molten metal is forced into the mould cavity called “die” at pressure, where it solidifies into a metal cast.
