Abstract
Cutting/machining has been an integral part of human civilization since the beginning of the Stone Age. With time the cutting tools have evolved but the methods of cutting/machining remain the same. Thus, typical machining techniques lack several characteristics, such as material compatibility, difficulty in working with, inability to manufacture varied sizes and shapes, and so on. Thus, there have been introduced unconventional machining processes that can be used to cut various composite materials, make them easier to operate and machine complex shapes, etc. This chapter focuses on why unconventional machining processes can be an expedient alternative to conventional machining.
