Prosthesis manufacturing
This is the same graphic and description of a manufacturing process that streamlines production of prostheses. This is the one-phase process (as contrasted with an older 4-phase process described in my previous question) being described using a sort of blank premolded piece - there is very little description, but here is the only context I have:
process lopin forgé vs process débit:
livraison du brut
usinage complet en 1 phase
I assume this means that the blank extruded material is supplied or produced and then machined. I am just not sure of how to phrase it: delivery of extrusion? delivery of extruded blank or form? supply of extrusion?
The rest of the entire 10,000 word document is merely describing the use of the implant, not its manufacturing process!
Many thanks in advance.

delivery of the raw material
Whatever the process, casting/farging, etc. be it plastic or metal, the stuff being worked/forged,/casted is usually called the "raw material". Delivery is probably NOT referring to delivery by truck, but rather some sort of raw material feeding mechanism that gets it to the point of transformation.

Comment: "Craig, thank you. This is a better phrasing of the concept than the one I had originally done myself but is what I thought the meaning was. I appreciate Narasimha's suggestion too and thank the agreers for the confirmations."

delivery of basic casting/forging/rawmaterial
The context is very clear in the sense that it speaks of the basic component/part supplied in its raw state, be it a casting, forging, bar stock or fabricated component, which needs further machining to bring it to the required form.
