Various issues dealing with the manufacture and production of electronics

Subcategories

• Ball milling - the use of a cylindrical device containing grinding mediums such as ceramic balls to grind material to a find powder
• Compression molding - a molding method in which the molding material is placed in an open, heated cavity and heat and pressure are applied until the material is cured
• Embossing - the process of producing raised or sunken designs in sheet metal, paper, or other materials
• Fabrication - the building of metal structures by cutting, bending, and assembling
• Group technology - or GT, a manufacturing process in which the parts having similarities are grouped together to ensure a higher level of integration
• Injection molding - a manufacturing process in which thermoplastic materials are injected into a mold cavity and hardened
• Manufacturing products & systems
• Materials processing
