Conventional manufacturing techniques such as casting, forging, injection moulding are still the most preffered techniques in the production industries. Doesn't it come as a surprise? And so it is, most of the research being centered as additive manufacturing and advanced manufacturing processes such as laser machining, electric discharge machining, abraisive water jet machining, and so on. This gives rise to the delusion that the industries utilise these processes, however for the fact that the metal removal rate or the productivity of these processes in comparison to the conventional techniques is much low. However, the advancement in the processing industry and alchemy poses various challenges to the conventional manufacturing industry, thus the requirement of unconventional machining processes becomes evident. And since these processes are yet to be optimised and 'X' factors are still to be explored, their inclusion in the industry is limited.
