There are many ways to generate a screw thread, including the traditional subtractive types (for example, various kinds of cutting [single-pointing, taps and dies, die heads, milling]; molding; casting [die casting, sand casting]; forming and rolling; grinding; and occasionally [[lapping]] to follow the other processes); newer [[additive manufacturing|additive techniques]]; and combinations thereof.
