Definition
A "workpiece" is an object or component that is being worked on or manufactured, often in an industrial or manufacturing setting. Think of it as the raw material that is being transformed into a finished product, like a block of wood being carved into a sculpture or a sheet of metal being shaped into a car part. It's the object that is undergoing a specific process. Unlike a finished product, a workpiece is incomplete and subject to further modification. It's the focus of the manufacturing process. 🔩
