Title: Describe the secondary processes used to convert stock into finished products.
Course: Production Systems (13101-18) > Section: Exploring the Nature of Technology

Description should contain the following methods to create products from stock:

- Layout, measurement, and pattern-making
- Molding and casting
- Forming
- Separating
- Conditioning
- Assembling
- Finishing
- Additive manufacturing methods (e.g., three-dimensional [3D] printing, coating)

Process/Skill Questions:

- How are raw materials converted into useable materials?
- How do tolerances in standard stock affect computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) processes?
- What is the difference between primary and secondary processing of material?
