Title: Identify manufacturing processes.
Course: Drafting, Advanced (21102-IV) > Section: Performing Mechanical Drafting and Design Operations with Extensive Use of CADD

Identification should include

- describing the metal and nonmetal engineering materials
- describing the different processes used to transform engineering materials into a finished product
- explaining additive manufacturing (3D printing)
- describing the concepts of jigs and fixtures
- explaining the use of robotics
- explaining the use of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines
- defining computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the roles of computers in today’s manufacturing processes?
- What advantages/disadvantages do nonmetal engineering materials such as composites have vs. metal engineering materials?
- Why is accuracy so important in the construction of jigs and fixtures?
