Description

Compacting refers to the set of processes that convert the workpiece material into a smaller or thinner shape.

Overview of Process

Compacting is a set of related processes, all of which are designed to compress the workpiece into a smaller or thinner shape.

Additional Notes

This is a classification process, not a end-node process. Specifying the detailed end-node process required will produce a better RfD search result.
