Narrowly, Material is used to refer to substances with certain physical properties which are used as inputs to manufacturing. Materials are the pieces required to make, from buildings and art to stars and computers. A material can be anything, a finished product in its own an unprocessed raw material. Raw materials are first extracted from the earth and divided into a form that can be easily transported and stored, then processed to produce semi-finished materials. These can be input into a new cycle of production and finishing processes to create finished materials, ready for consumption, distribution and construction.
