There are many processes involved in manufacturing a part or product before the manufacturer releases it to the client base. While it might seem like a unilinear process, many of these stages have to be done severally before the part/product can move to the next stage.

It also reduces costs as the machinist can eliminate unnecessary features of the parts in this stage.
