Everything you need to know about CNC machining

Before the introduction of computerized numerical control (CNC), the manufacturing process involved strenuous human labor, unnecessarily long periods of production, wastage of material, and was fraught with error. Today, the technology has greatly improved the manufacturing process.

The introduction of CNC machining technologies provides a high level of reliability, making iterative processes more automatic. But, what is CNC machining? Which products can be made from CNC technology? How does CNC machining work, and which materials can be used in the manufacturing processes that use CNC machines?

This article is a deep dive into what CNC machining is, and the basic concepts involved in the process. We will discuss the advantages of CNC manufacturing over traditional manufacturing, and CNC’s contributions to modern manufacturing.

We will also look at CNC software. Lastly, we highlight what is required of individuals who want to train to become CNC machinists, and discuss future trends in the world of CNC machining.
