What Is Manufacturing?

 The word manufacture is derived from two Latin words


manus (hand) and factus (make); the combination
means “made by hand”
 The vast majority of objects around us consist of
numerous individual pieces that are built and assembled
by a combination of processes called manufacturing.

What Is Manufacturing?

 Most modern manufacturing operations are


accomplished by mechanized and automated equipment
that is supervised by human workers
 Application of physical and chemical processes to alter
the geometry, properties, and/or appearance of a
starting material to make parts or products

What Is Manufacturing?

 Mechanization： the development of textile machinery


and machine tools for cutting metal.
 A major advance in manufacturing began in the early
1800s, with the design, production, and use of
interchangeable parts.
 The period approximately from the 1940s to the 1990s
was characterized by mass production and expanding
global markets.
 The quality revolution began to change manufacturing
in the 1960s and 1970s, and programmable computers
started becoming widely applied in the 1980s.

What Is Manufacturing?

 The digital manufacturing ：powerful computers and


software have now been fully integrated across the
design and manufacturing enterprise.
 The term digital manufacturing has been applied to
reflect the notion that the manufacture of components
can take place completely through such computer-driven
CAD and production machinery.

Selection of Manufacturing Processes

Process Selection
 Selection of process depends on geometric features of the parts
and workpiece material and properties
 Some mechanical tools are
being replaced by laser cutting
 Size of manufactured products
are getting smaller such as
microscopic gears

Selection of Manufacturing Processes

淨形製造)
淨形製造 and Near-net-shape Manufacturing
Net-shape (淨形製造
 Part is made in only one operation to the final desired dimensions,
tolerances and surface finish
 Difference between the two is the degree of how close the product is
to its final dimensional characteristics
 Examples of net-shape manufacturing are precision casting, forging,
forming sheet metal, powder metallurgy, injection molding of metal
powders and injection molding of plastics

Types of Production
 Job shops: less than 100
 Small-batch production: 10 to 100
 Batch production: 100 and 5000
 Mass production: over 100,000

Engineering Metrology

 Engineering metrology is defined as the


measurement of dimensions
 Parts are measured and inspected before they are
assembled into products
 Parts are measured to ensure that it is manufactured
consistently and within dimensional tolerances
 Measurement of the relevant dimensions and features
of parts is an integral aspect of interchangeable parts
manufacturing
 Most important aspects of manufacturing is product
quality

17

Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

 All bolts are manufactured within a certain range of


dimensional tolerance
 Thus all similar bolts are interchangeable

Dimensional Tolerance
 Dimensional tolerance is defined as the acceptable
variation in the dimensions
 Refer to height, width, depth, diameter, and angles
