Non-conventional machining (NCM) processes, often called non-traditional machining, represent a group of advanced manufacturing techniques that remove material using various energy forms—electrical, thermal, chemical, or mechanical—without direct physical contact between a sharp cutting tool and the workpiece. These processes were developed to overcome the limitations of traditional machining, such as the inability to machine extremely hard or brittle materials and the difficulty of creating complex, intricate geometries. Classification of Non-Conventional Machining
: Uses a high-velocity stream of gas and abrasive particles. Thermal Energy Laser Beam Machining (LBM) : Uses a focused laser beam to melt or vaporize material. Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) Non Conventional Machining Process Ppt
