ABSTRACT
The morphological model was built up from a few fundamental elements arranged as a material flow, an energy flow, and an information flow. For the application of the processes, both in design and in production, it is important that the description of the processes rely on the basic principles covered by the morphological model, since this enables ingenious and imaginative utilizations of the existing processes and production equipment. A classification of the technological manufacturing processes may be based on many different criteria, depending on its purpose. Concerning materials in the granular and liquid states, shaping is in general carried out only by mass-conserving processes. The surface creation and the pattern of motions (the information system) describe the geometrical possibilities of the processes. It is especially important that at this point, the systems are imaginatively utilized.
