    2. Used for
      1. Pistons, screws, turbines.
    3. material processing
      1. Ceramics wood metals plastics
  2. Jiggering and Jollying
    1. Used for:
      1. Producing tableware and are distinguished by the depth of the shapes they produced
    2. Characteristics
      1. Allows complete control of the thicknesses and shapes of sections
      2. Can be cost-effective than slip casting
      3. Less prone to distortion than cast pots.
  3. Turning
    1. Characteristics
      1. Low or high volume production runs

      2. Complex forms can easily be achieved
      3. Efficient use of material
      4. Lends itself well to low-production runs.
    2. Used for
      1. Any type of hollow product, from one-off pieces of tableware such as teapots
    3. Material processing
      1. Ceramic
4. Into Solid
  1. Sintering
    1. Characteristics
      1. Suited to components with varying wall thcikness
      2. Efficient use of materials.
      3. Parts have good nondirectional properties
      4. Requires a number of different stages
    2. Used for
      1. Production of bearings, where the allows lubricants to flow through the actual bearings
    3. Material processing
      1. Ceramic metal plastic glass
  2. Hot Isostatic
    1. Characteristics
      1. Produces parts of high density with no porosity
      2. Provides an efficient use of material
      3. Costly setup
      4. Shrinkage can be problematic
    2. Used for
      1. The cost of the operation limits its use to high-spec components that require high physical and mechanical properties, such as turbine-engine componetns and orthopaedic
    3. Material processing
      1. Ceramic metal plastics
  3. Compression molding
    1. Characteristics
      1. Ideal for forming thermoset plastics
      2. Ideal for producing parts that require large, thick-walled, solid sections.
