workpiece
A piece of material that is secured in a fixture and machined into the final part. The workpiece is often cut from a larger piece of stock material and can be a sheet (blank), a standard extruded shape (solid bar, hollow tube, or shaped beam), a custom extrusion, or any prefabricated part such as a casting or forging. Each workpiece shape has certain dimensions that are used in planning the machining operations.
