Fill in the Table 1 below. Two examples are given for you. For 18 more different everyday-used- items you need to find and write short descriptions on, (1) What manufacturing process(es) is(are) used to produce the product in the industry? and (2) How can we make that item in our workshop? In our lab we have, resistance spot welding; flux-cored arc welding; box and pan break for sheet metals; ceramic processing; 3-D printing with PLA polymers; metal casting (melting point should be less than 2000F); soldering; laser cutter for wood plastics and lather; lathe, milling, electric saw, and drilling machines. Keep in mind about the availability of these processes when you choose a manufacturing process for that same item in our workshop setup. Use pictures, as I used in the example. Watch for manufacturing process videos on internet or find local industries that produces that item. Be specific about the manufacturing processes. Do not just say welding, tell about which type of welding you are talking about. 6 S Table 1: # Northwestern State University IET 4730: Materials and Manufacturing Processes How can you produce that in the workshop at ET dept. The die is not available in the ET workshop. So, we can fabrication of ceramic cup by manipulating plastic clay into desired geometry by hand; or use slip casting method where suspension of ceramic powders in water, called a slip, is poured into porous plaster of Paris mold. 3-D printing Product How is it produced in the industry? Ceramic cup Plastic Pressing of ceramic clay in a preformed die. Forming process in which plastic clay slug is pressed between upper and lower molds Plastic bottle blow molding of plastic bottle 12 13 10 11 3 Northwestern State University IET 4730: Materials and Manufacturing Processes
