Manufactured item has monetary worth (added value) than raw materials
Manufacturing is closely linked to national and global economy
Finishing: honing, lapping, polishing, burnishing, deburring, surface treating, coating and plating FACTORS AFFECTING PROCESS SELECTION

CASTING
An object made by pouring molten metal or other material into a mold. Casting is a mass production process which involves molten materials (such as metals, plastics or resins) being poured into a mold, allowed to solidify and then extracted for use. Casting can be thought of as a method for reproducing something whether a mere part or a single unit by itself.
Casting is a process that can be used to manufacture complex parts which would prove too expensive or time-consuming to produce using other methods such as cutting or shaping these from solid materials.
CLASSIFICATION OF CASTING
Casting processes can be classified into following FOUR categories: 1. Conventional Molding Processes 2. Chemical Sand Molding Processes
