2.1 Materials

Breaks unwanted material by applying a force using a blade, die, or punch. 

Metal surfaces bonded together by an alloy. 

Posses both metallic and non-metallic properties. 

Parts produced directly from software applications.  

Typically a gas at room temperature. 

Uses physical force to hold parts together. 

Uses heat or pressure to join parts. 

Material compressed through die. 

Good conductor of heat and electricity. 

Created when two or more elements are chemically combined. 

Material shaped by controlled application of force (blacksmith). 

A low density material that has flexibility and elasticity. 

Has thermal conductivity, strength, and plasticity. 

Material passes through rollers. 

Creates a cylindrical part by rotating material while cutting. 

Consists mostly of carbon and hydrogen and is renewable.  

FIlls gap between surfaces with bonding material. 

Material pulled through die. 

Non-chemical combination of any two or more substances.  

Creates a flat or curved surface by progressively removing material. 

A mold is created that holds molten material in a desired shape until it is solidified. 

Has high strength at high temperatures.
