Manufacturing at Work: 5 Awesome Manufacturing Processes

Many people don’t realize just how cool manufacturing can be.

After taking students on their first factory tours, for example, students are often surprised by just how interesting manufacturing is to watch. Today’s cutting-edge manufacturing techniques require skilled workers to operate the, but that doesn’t mean those techniques can’t be fascinating all on their own.

In the spirit of awesome manufacturing processes, today, we’ve compiled a list of 5 videos of manufacturing technology that we think are really worth a look. Take a look below:

5. Waterjet Cutting (through 8″ thick steel)

4. CNC Machining

3. Robotic Welding

2. Friction Stir Welding

1. Laser Metal Deposition
