Everything about Machining
Material-removing manufacturing process
Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, plastic or rubber from a larger piece of raw material by cutting. Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, which utilizes machine tools, in contrast to additive manufacturing, which uses controlled addition of material. Wikipedia →
