Abstract

Throughout recorded history the development of manufacturing processes has responded to demands for processes to produce increasingly complex devices. In the late 18th and 19th century, manufacture of machines developed for the textile industry, steam engines, and small arms demanded precision not previously required, while in the early 20th century, mass production of motor vehicles and other consumer goods demanded changes in manufacturing philosophy and the development of processes able to produce large numbers of interchangeable parts.
These changes in processes were paralleled by similar developments in materials which, themselves, in turn effected the development of manufacturing processes.
For the last 45 years the single most significant influence upon the development of materials and manufacturing processes has been the rapidly developing aero-space industry. The conditions under which modern aero-space devices function have placed demands upon materials engineers and manufacturing engineers to develop materials able to withstand the extreme conditions and processes to fabricate them into reliable components. Aerospace design complexity has made mandatory the use of computer aided design techniques with consequences for manufacturing.
This paper highlights some of the developments which have occurred as a result of aerospace industry demands and illustrates their impact on manufacturing in general.
