Sustainable machining must be defined in the context of sustainability and sustainable manufacturing. The entry on "sustainability" indicates that sustainability implies that something can be sustained, that is, continued at that level, in principle indefinitely. "Sustainable Manufacturing" is defined as the creation of manufactured products that use non-polluting processes, conserve energy and natural resources and are economically sound and safe for employees, communities and consumers, including the manufacture of sustainable products and the sustainable manufacture of all products . Therefore, applicable to machining, sustainable machining can be defined as the manufacture of products (components, etc.) by a subtractive process based on cutting (removal of material by the cutting action of a tool usually with a machine tool to Create surfaces and features) In a way.
