ABSTRACT
Fabrication of artefacts is dependent on raw materials, by changing their configuration, modifying and processing them into valuable finished products. At one extreme, non-conventional manufacturing techniques utilize customized machines without manual operations to accelerate large-scale manufacturing. On the other hand, the produced materials require manufacturing processes that are able to accommodate the property and geometry demands of the application without degrading the fabricated artefact. Advanced manufacturing processing technologies (AMPT) have been escalating over the years because of their competitive benefits. On one hand, manufacturing industries are implementing advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT) to overcome the obstacles of maintaining quality improvement, cost depreciation, and lead time reduction, which are typically brought on by international competition, inadequate productivity growth, and quickly shifting customer tastes. Industrial applications are custom tailored with the purpose of excellent cost-effectiveness, good mechanical properties, and a high degree of reliability. For example, the utilization of waste-heat in industrial applications i.e., heat pumps utility, is necessary for energy conservation.
