Different types of manufacturing processes are improving rapidly with the pace of technological development. This article will discuss the most popular manufacturing techniques of the industry and their applications.

Fig.1: Typical Manufacturing Process Schematics Almost all the primary production processes fall under the following four categories: 1. Casting

2. Forming

3. Joining

4. Machining

However, if you expand the categories then you will definitely be overwhelmed by the numbers hidden under them. So, if you want to make list of the noted ones among them, then probably the following thirty one processes is quite a answer of the question: what are the different types of manufacturing process are there based on popularity? 1. Sand Casting Process and its Applications: Sand casting is the most widely used foundry production process.

2. Gravity Die Casting Process and its Applications: The only difference between the sand casting and gravity die casting process lies in the construction of the mold.

3. Investment Casting Process or Lost Wax Casting Process and its Applications: This is the only casting process where normally single piece mold cavity is used.

8. Stamping Process and its Applications: The coins of your purse are manufactured by this process

9. Shot Pinning Process and its Applications: The dirty looking casting surfaces become beautiful by this process

10. Cold Rolling Process and its Applications: You make the wheat dough; this is the similar production process

11. Hot Rolling Process and its Applications: Rolling after applying heat.

12. Forging Process and its Applications: Have you ever observed how the blacksmiths shape the red hot components, same manufacturing process here

13. Injection Molding Process and its Applications: As the name suggests, inject the materials to mold.

14. Blow Molding Process and its Applications: See the pet bottle there, and remember blow molding

15. Turning process and its Application: The first thing I learned during my manufacturing process class

16. Drilling Process and its Applications: Almost all the non-sheet metal and non-plastic holes are created by this method

17. Milling Process and its Applications: For large amount of material removal, you should ideally go for milling

18. Grinding Process and its Applications: Rub the materials off by this process

19. Lapping Process and its Applications: You can make metallic mirror by this process

20. Honing Process and its Applications: Finish the surface by slow itching

Different Types of Manufacturing Processes, Their Advantages, Disadvantages and Ideal Applications

21. Fusion Welding Process and its Applications: Most of the fabrications are done by this process

22. Friction Welding Process and its Applications: It is the welding by friction

23. Brazing Process and its Applications: Joints of dissimilar materials

24. Soldering Process and its Applications: The joints between PCB and the wires are by soldering

25. Gas Cutting Process and its Applications: Its cutting of metals by the gas jet

26. Laser Cutting Process and its Applications: Cutting by laser beam

27. Electrical discharge machining or EDM Process and its Applications: How will you make titanium components?

28. Stereolithography or rapid prototyping or 3D printing and its Application: Draw the components in your PC and click the print button and the part is manufactured

29. Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) Process and its Applications: Jet of abrasive particles are used for machining

30. Powder metallurgy (pressing and sintering) and its Applications: Its like creating clay model using metallic powder

31. Laminated Object Manufacturing Process and its Applications: Manufacturing process by assembling the layers

The aim of this article is to give you the most elaborative list of the production process hence I tried ungroup them at the max. I will keep updating this list of the different types of manufacturing process by adding newer manufacturing techniques.
