Tooling, commonly referred to as machine tooling, is the process of shaping or forming materials to produce tolerance parts. This involves the use of jigs, molds, patterns, fixtures, and cutting tools to cut, shape, and form the parts. The equipment needed for tooling differs depending on the particular production, the type, and the size of the tooling.
It is important to note that to execute tasks correctly and maintain operations, it’s critical to have the necessary tools. Suppose the manufacturing process is ineffective without the right tools. Moreover, any changes made to the tooling technology directly affect production quantity, quality, and cost.
