Manufacturing Processes Research Report On The Production Of A Bicycle Frame

Steel frame structures are made as the name suggest from steel, the material is strong and flexible. When weight is added it bends without cracking. Another characteristic of steel is that its plasticity or ductility, meaning that when force is added it won’t crack however it will lose shape therefore giving warning for people to evacuate the building. A disadvantage of steel is that is loses strength when subject to fire. Studies have shown that it can loose up- to half its strength when subject to fire, therefore making it imperative to cover the steel with boards or spray on.

Quality: If a business requires a high quality, they will use flow production as machines are more accurate and not as prone to human error.

3D printing uses a process known as "additive" manufacturing. That means that the solid, three-dimensional object constructed will be made by adding the desired material in layers. The first successful outcomes of additive printing occurred back in the 1970’s. One of the advantages of using additive printing is that it takes less time than having to get a big enough piece of material and then making a mold before starting the process.(Additive) Those both also add to cost which is saved using this process. Also, there is a

Advantages: Thermoplastics have a good range of properties and are energy efficient both in their manufacture and processing. Thermoplastic components can be made in very high volume with high precision and low cost. Thermoplastics can replace metals with a considerable weight savings, providing proper care is taken in design. Most thermoplastics have better fatigue properties than metals and will tolerate larger deflections than metals without deforming.

Also known as additive manufacturing because 3D printing is the process of making an object by depositing material by layers at a time. This is useful and was created because many businesses use subtractive manufacturing, where they tend to have material and carve into it and make something out of it, thereby wasting a lot of material. While using the additive manufacturing they are able to use the material with 98% efficiency to create something, which is why 3D printing is burgeoning and more research is being conducted to increase the 3D printers

Bakelite's molding process had a number of advantages. Bakelite resin could be provided either as powder or as preformed partially cured slugs thus increasing the speed of the casting. Thermosetting resinsof Bakelite though require heat and pressure during the molding cycle, but without being cooled it could be removed from the molding process, hence the molding process becomes faster [36]. Because of the smooth polished surface that is obtained, Bakelite objects required less finishing. Bakelite can be molded very quickly thus it is good for mass-production of identical units. Moldings are smooth, retain their shape and are resistant to heat, scratches and destructive solvents. Phenolic resin products may swell slightly under conditions of extreme humidity or

of climate are lessened, the quality of the subsequent product is more reliable, less labor is needed to

The direct manufacture of complex geometries allows to simplify the number of steps of production or to eliminate the need for tools, which allows to be able to produce of an economic way already from the first unit. In addition, the time required is greatly reduced. If we

There are many great advantages to Lean construction, some include using the fewest amount of material and having the least amount of waste that can create profit and more important, cut costs. Lean construction is not about money at all, but

This automated approach towards fabricating contrasts with the traditional way of manufacturing, where an object is formed by removing excess material or folding and shaping materials

Hydro power and also known as hydraulic power or water power is uses water to move the turbine in order to convert kinetic energy into electric energy [1]. Besides it is renewable another advantages of the hydroelectric power plant are its produces negligible amount of greenhouse gases, in the way of storing large amount of electricity, it is the least cost, and the electricity produced can be adjusted followed the demanded from the consumers. In Malaysia total capacity of hydro power plants is only around 8% from the total generation capacity. During the generation of electricity, usage of hydro power plant will increase due to

Increased cost efficiency - A good relationship with suppliers allows the manufacturing firm to receive improved services which will result in on time delivery of materials.

The advantages of it is that in it length of fabric is used and along the length of warp and weft defects are identified. However, there are width limitation behind

Mechanical engineering is a diverse subject that derives its breadth from the need to design and manufacture everything from small individual parts and devices (e.g., microscale sensors and inkjet printer nozzles) to large systems (e.g., spacecraft and machine tools).

Et al [3] it will increase the build time. Some authors has reported that proper setting of FDM machine parameters may lead to better surface finish.
