Manufacturing process: Introduction
Manufacturing engineering, also called a manufacturing process, is the steps taken to transform raw material into the final product. The manufacturing process begins with product design, its analysis, and then the product specification from which it is made. These materials are then processed through manufacturing processes to take out the required part.
Manufacturing, in general, is the common term for creating a product using manufacturing processes. It defines the secondary sector of the economy. More complex products are manufactured in parts and then assembled through CNC machines.
Manufacturing process engineering
Manufacturing process engineering is the branch of proficient engineering that has many common concepts and ideas with other prospects of engineering such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and industrial engineering. Manufacturing process engineering requires the following concepts:
The ability to plan the required concepts of manufacturing.
To develop tools, machines, and processes along with types of equipment.
And, to integrate the facilities into a common platform with optimal expenditure.
The manufacturing or production engineer's primary focus is to turn raw material into an updated or new product in the most effective, efficient & economic way possible.

Additive manufacturing in India
The additive manufacturing industry in India is growing slowly but steadily. However, the awareness regarding it is not that significant to be noticed on a large scale. Awareness regarding the technology in India is finally getting better with many companies adopting/entering the domain. It's no more an unknown technology. Indian manufacturing industry seems to have finally realized the benefit of additive manufacturing and exploring further. However, more education is required in terms of adoption, ROI, etc.
Additive Manufacturing Society of India
Additive Manufacturing Society of India (AMSI) is a leading professional body with an objective to promote state-of-the-art 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing technology and expand collaborative relations with international organizations in all the aspects of additive manufacturing such as R&D, manufacturing, training, and skill development to empower India’s advanced manufacturing technology. AMSI has a great network and MoU's with global additive manufacturing organizations.
The additive manufacturing market in India
The additive manufacturing market in India is very new and taking its shape through new startups being born as a result of foreign collaborations. The startups like “Quest’s Design and Company” are taking it to the next level via AI-powered manufacturing and design. There are only six companies right now taking the lead in the sector of this particular manufacturing. Setting trends will not be low profile in the coming days.
Conclusion
We have talked about the market in the past and present. And, having seen the results of the overall progress of manufacturing in India we can be much more sure about the future. Additive and subtractive manufacturing are new to India but under the government’s Make in India campaign, the manufacturing sector is revolutionizing.
Seeing overall progress and predicting the future of manufacturing in the country, we can say India has the largest potential for the industry to grow and develop.
