Secondary manufacturing processes are those processes that are done after the initial manufacturing processes, like injection molding, CNC machining production, and so on. As the name suggests, these processes are used to refine the workpiece in some manner.

It is important to remember the secondary processes are not the same as finishing processes. These two terms are sometimes interchanged, so it is easy to get confused by what they mean. To clarify, finishing processes are things like polishing, packaging, labeling, and final inspections before shipping the workpiece off to customers.

There are many different types of secondary processes that can be used with workpieces, depending on your specific needs and requirements.
