Secondary Operations
Many assembly techniques can use the inherent nature of the material to eliminate parts. Machining and Finishing may serve decorative or functional requirements of an application. Even though these secondary operations occur in the final phases of a product’s development, they must be carefully considered early in the planning stages of a program. The best suited technique for a particular design is dependent on performance, cost and number of units to be produced.
