Title: Distinguish between primary and secondary processes involved in the manufacture of industrial goods into finished products.
Course: Mechatronics I (13901-I) > Section: Understanding Manufacturing

Distinction should include an explanation of how different processes make use of specific manufacturing applications, such as the use of welding in assembling processes. Relate the specific operations required to implement the following secondary processes:

- Casting and molding (e.g., sand casting)
- Forming (e.g., metal forming)
- Separating (e.g., machining)
- Assembling (e.g., welding)
- Direct digital and additive manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing)
- Finishing (e.g., electroplating)

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are some examples of products produced by additive processes or subtractive processes?
- What materials are commonly used in 3D printing?
- What equipment is used for subtractive processing?
- How can a process be a primary or a secondary process?
