Manufacturing processes in the new age are increasingly evolving to become more high tech in pursuit of maximizing productivity, increasing capacity, enhancing efficiency and minimizing wastage as well as overall production costs.
Global manufacturers today are rapidly shifting from traditional manufacturing processes to digital engineering and prototyping (DEP) which is essentially a process to produce highly complex product designs in the shortest possible time frame during the stages of pre-production or the development phases of a product. This is made possible with advancements in computer, design, modeling and information applications that are today integrated to facilitate this process.
