We are giving you a sort of toolkit to help you explore and investigate many different materials.
Furthermore there are many stages to the processing. We start with the raw material. , plywood, compressed wood). Processing techniques use up materials and energy and have side effects, such as dust, fumes, noise, and other potential health risks. Polymers start from petroleum, metals, and ceramics from natural rocks and sands, and composites of course from a mixture of processed materials. All of the above may be processed with gas or liquid, and possibly with solid additives as well. , growth, fossilization).
