The world of production is vast and encompasses a wide range of technologies.
Traditional Technologies:
Assembly Lines: This classic method involves dividing production into distinct tasks performed by specialized workers or machines. It's efficient for high-volume, standardized products but lacks flexibility for customization.
Machining: Subtractive manufacturing technique that uses machine tools to remove material from a workpiece to create the desired shape. Offers high precision and accuracy but can be time-consuming and generate waste.
Casting: Molten metal is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify, taking the mold's shape. Suitable for complex geometries but requires specialized tooling and can be energy-intensive.
Welding: Different techniques (arc, gas, laser) are used to join metal parts permanently. Strong and versatile but requires skilled operators and proper safety measures.
