MORE ON THE MANUFACTURING OF ACRYLIC SHEET: Plastic Distributor & Fabricator

The article was written to briefly illustrate the different production methods used to manufacture these three types of sheet with particular reference to how it impacts their cost and fabrication. As a follow-up to that article, the following column provides a more detailed look at the manufacturing process and includes a recap of the key differences in the finished products. For reference, the original article can be found in the "Articles" section of our website at www.plasticsmag.com. Acrylic sheet is commonly manufactured by one of three techniques. CIM.

CIM

Overview[edit] Computer-integrated manufacturing is used in automotive, aviation, space, and ship building industries.[3] The term "computer-integrated manufacturing" is both a method of manufacturing and the name of a computer-automated system in which individual engineering, production, marketing, and support functions of a manufacturing enterprise are organized. In a CIM system functional areas such as design, analysis, planning, purchasing, cost accounting, inventory control, and distribution are linked through the computer with factory floor functions such as materials handling and management, providing direct control and monitoring of all the operations.
