INTRODUCTION TO
MANUFACTURING
METHODS
Manufacturing methods is the process involves in
the development, generation and production of a
new component from the simplest to the most
complex method of manufacture in order to achieve
the customer requirement, company policy,
regulation and international standard of quality.

9
The manufacturing of a new product is a complex
process involving
a. The development of product specifications
b. The generation of a functional design.
c. The generation of a production design which
involves a study of the process of adapting
component parts to the simplest method of
manufacture.

10
Generally manufacturing methods used in aviation
industry can be divided into 4 types.
a. Manual/ conventional method, example, hand
forming, conventional shop.
b. Semi Automated, example touch numerical
control.
c. Automated. examples; CNC, CMM, CATIA, CAD
CAM, Robotics.
d. Advance Technology Method. example;
Concurrent engineering, Integrated
Manufacturing and dynamic performance
technology testing.
11
 The specific processes used to make the
object depend on the object itself. In
some cases the part may be cast, while
other parts may be forged, extruded, or
stamped. In many instances the part,
once fabricated into its basic form must
also be machined to maintain a specific
degree of accuracy or to produce a
feature not possible with other
manufacturing processes.
12
 When the production department receives the
engineering drawing, in the form of a part
print, it is first reviewed to ensure all
pertinent data and information necessary to
make the object are contained in the drawing.

13
 During the review, the production personnel will
consider several factors necessary to determine
how the part must be made. These factors include:
The type and condition of the material used to make
the object,
The lead time required
The overall size and shape of the part,
The types of operations required, and
The required accuracy of the part, and
The number of part to be made.

14
 The type and condition of the material used to
make the part are important considerations.
Some parts may be made from solid bar stock
while other parts must be extruded, cast, forged,
or stamped. In most cases, parts made from bar
stock require the least lead time.

The lead time is the interval from the time the

production receives the drawing until
production completed.

15
 Production department should maintain a
sufficient supply of bar stock to begin
production as soon as the drawing is received.
However, when a part must be extruded, cast,
forged, or stamped a longer lead time is
required to make the necessary molds or dies to
fabricate the object.

16
 The size and shape of the object must be
considered to determine if the object is within the
capabilities of the shop to make. In addition, the
size and shape may also determine the size of the
machine tools required as well as the datum, or
reference surfaces used to locate the part during
manufacture.

The types of operations required determine the

types of equipment and machine tools needed to
make the part. If, for example, the part requires
holes, a drill press, vertical milling machine, or
other machine tool may be used.
17
 The next consideration, the required accuracy
of the part, also determines how the operations
are performed.
Example : A hole with a required accuracy of
.002''(0.05 mm), for example, would require
reaming, while a hole with a required accuracy of
.02011(0.5 mm) could be drilled.

18
 The number of parts to be made will frequently
determine if the part should be cast, forged,
extruded, or machined from solid stock.

The number of parts will also determine if any

special work holders (jig & fixtures) are to be
made.

Larger production runs will normally justify

more sophisticated tools and processes since
the cost can be spread over a larger number of
parts.
19
 Smaller production runs normally demand the
parts to be made at the lowest possible cost
with little or no investment in special molds,
dies, or work holders.

The primary processes used to fabricate

manufactured products are casting, rolling,
forging, extruding, stamping, and machining.
To use these processes to their best advantage,
the designer must be familiar with the strengths
and weaknesses of each process as well as the
fundamental aspects of each process.
