Back in the day, standard machining was the only contract manufacturing and prototypes to production manufacturing process available. Computer numerical control (a.k.a. CNC) has revolutionized the machine shop industry. Today’s precision CNC machining equipment allows parts and projects to be produced faster and more efficiently than ever before. Let’s take a look at some advantages precision CNC machining has over standard machining.
Safety
Precision CNC machining overall is a safer process than standard machining. It is ergonomically better as no crouching or bending is required to operate CNC machining equipment. Milling turning, laser cutting, laser engraving, small part machining and close tolerance machining are among precision CNC machining processes considered to be safe for the machinist.
Reduced Downtime
Precision CNC machining processes are faster, more accurate and efficient than standard machining. Machinists are able to operate a CNC machine 24/7 with minimal downtime.
Flexibility
Precision CNC machining processes such as laser cutting, laser engraving, small part machining, milling turning and close tolerance machining offer machinists a lot of flexibility, especially when it comes to shaping and trimming materials.
High Quality, Lower Costs
Contract manufacturing and prototypes to production manufacturing projects produced using precision CNC machining are often higher quality and cost less than those produced using standard machining processes.
