Definition - machining
A subtractive manufacturing process in which excess material is removed until only the desired final geometry remains
Conventional machining
A sharp cutting tool used to mechanically cut the material to shape
Non-traditional machining
Uses various energy forms to remove material
What is machining usually used for?
Finishing process
Conventional machining examples
Turning Drilling Milling Grinding Etc
Non-traditional machining examples
Electrochemical machining
Thermal energy processes
Chemical machining
Etc
What materials can be machined?
Metals - most common Polymers Ceramics Composites Natural materials
Special part shape in machining examples
Screw threads
Accurate round holes
Very straight edges and surfaces
Benefits of machining
Variety of materials can be machined
Variety of part shapes and features possible
Good dimensional accuracy and surface finish
Disadvantages of machining
Wasteful of material
Time consuming - longer than casting and molding
