Injection moulding is a manufacturing process that allows for parts to be produced in large volumes. It works by injecting molten materials into a mould. It is typically used as a mass production process to manufacture thousands of identical items. Injection moulding materials include metals, glasses, elastomers and confections, although it is most commonly used… Continue reading Introduction to molding – Injection molding

Introduction into Machining – Gear cutting
1. Overview Gears were made by hand from ancient times until the 18th century when mechanization became widespread in Europe with the introduction of clocks and other machines. During the Industrial Revolution, machines dedicated to making gears were developed in quick succession. In gear making, steel cylinders are first cut into circular plates, which are… Continue reading Introduction into Machining – Gear cutting
Introduction into Machining. – NC Lathes
1. Major Functions and Characteristics Numerically controlled (NC) machine tools have drastically advanced metalworking since their emergence in the 1950s. Operations previously performed by hand could now be automated with NC machine tools. Not long after their emergence, NC machine tools began to be embedded with computers, a technical evolution that led to the adoption… Continue reading Introduction into Machining. – NC Lathes
Creating Manufacturing Work Centers
A work center is a group of people that perform a specific step in the manufacturing process. After you define a work center group, that work center can be assigned to cover specific steps in the manufacturing process. For example, your assembly process might require the following groups: manufacturing, quality assurance, and packing machine. You… Continue reading Creating Manufacturing Work Centers
Proposal For Automating Manufacturing process
Proposal Summary This proposal covers the Manufacturing Module Revision and Customization of Work Order Completion records with By-Products for the accurate computation of costs of the Assembly item. The procedure for computing the costs for the FG items with By-products will be handled by a script. To accomplish this, a custom sublist will be created… Continue reading Proposal For Automating Manufacturing process
Overview of Manufacturing Processes
Manufacturers are companies who produce and distribute products. They typically have at least one manufacturing facility, one warehouse or distribution point, and ship products either directly to the customer or through a wholesale distribution network. It has integrated and successful operations across multiple functional areas. Manufacturers typically fall into the following production strategies. Build to stock – where finished goods are pre-built based on their forecast or min/max and readily available to satisfy sales orders. Make to order -where components of the finished goods are readily available, and Finished goods are only built to satisfy firm demand from a customer. Assemble to order – where subassemblies of finished goods are pre-built and readily available to be assembled to satisfy firm demand from a customer. Configure to order – finished goods are made… Continue reading Overview of Manufacturing Processes
