Removing parts of a material to shape it is called {{}}.

small, handcrafted products made by a single person

large-scale production using machinery and technology

What does 'industrial' typically refer to in manufacturing?

uses a shaped blade to cut identical polymer shapes from thin sheets

physical properties/characteristics relate to how a material looks and feels

working/mechanical properties describe material behaviour when exposed to forces

hardness is a physical property/characteristic

elasticity is a working/mechanical property

Which of the following statements is **incorrect**?

they are always made from recycled materials

they're easier to transport, store, and use in different manufacturing processes

they don't require specialised tools to work with

What is one main benefit of using standard stock forms in manufacturing?

True or false? Machine tools make production faster and more consistent than hand tools.
