The different fabrication processes are determined by the materials being used and the desired outcome. Some common fabrication processes include:
Cutting: This is the process of removing material from a workpiece to create a desired shape.
Bending: This is the process of changing the shape of a workpiece by applying force.
Welding: This is the process of joining two pieces of metal together using heat and pressure.
Machining: This is the process of using tools to remove material from a workpiece to create a desired shape.
3D printing: This is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital file.
