A4.1.11 Combining manufacturing techniques Notes
Combining Manufacturing Techniques
A combination of additive, subtractive, forming, joining and finishing techniques are needed to create components and products.
Most real-world products are not made using a single technique.
Manufacturers use a combination of manufacturing processes to meet design requirements such as strength, appearance, cost, and material properties.
Why Combine Techniques?
Optimise material use (e.g. use forming for strong shapes, subtractive for accuracy)
Improve product performance
Reduce waste and production time
Enhance appearance and durability
Example
Modern Bicycle Frame
Technique
Use in Bicycle Frame Production
Forming
Tubes are bent or hydroformed into shape
Joining
Tubes are welded or brazed together
Subtractive
Mounting points or holes are machined
Additive
Custom components (like brackets) 3D printed
Finishing
Powder coating or anodising to protect and colour the frame

Introduction to Manufacturing Techniques
Manufacturing techniques are methods used to create products from raw materials.
There are five main categories of manufacturing techniques:
Additive: Building up material layer by layer
Subtractive: Removing material to create a shape
Forming: Shaping material without adding or removing
Joining: Connecting multiple parts together
Finishing: Improving surface quality or appearance
DefinitionManufacturing TechniquesMethods used to transform raw materials into finished products through various processes.
AnalogyThink of manufacturing techniques like different tools in a toolbox - each has a specific purpose and is chosen based on the task at hand.
