1. CAD/CAM unit: In this unit, 3D or 2D images of sample were made by AutoCAD software or other software’s. The shape, size, length, thickness and parameters of the material were finalise by the owner. Then this final programme sent to the tool unit.
2. Tool unit: In this unit moulding (sacha/dhacha) of the sample were made by operators with the help of different LATHE and drill machines. After completing moulding of the sample sent to the processing unit.
3. Processing unit: In this unit final product were prepared by different machines which are computer program operated.
4. Testing unit: In this unit safety measures were tested by different machines. According to the application of the plastic sample. If the safety measures are good then that product comes into market.
