Question if teams heat treat metals, what else are there?

Well, now that someone mentioned Heat-treating metals... I am wondering what process do teams use when they are building their robot beside using power tools and welding?

I am totally unfamiliar with any other methods besides using tools, welding, and heat-treating, so I can't really list any examples...

Are there a lot of unconventional ways of machining or processing metals these days?

A lot of teams with limited fundings won't even try to imagine beyond using mills and lathes, but it's still nice to know what's going on out there...
