1. What Is CNC Machining?
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, where machines are programmed to cut, mill, and shape metal parts with high accuracy. The process replaces manual operation with automated control, ensuring identical results every time.
This automation eliminates human error and allows for complex shapes to be machined at incredible tolerances, often within 0.01mm.
2. Key Benefits of CNC Machining
- a) Exceptional Accuracy
CNC machines perform precise, consistent cuts, vital for industries like aerospace, automotive, and construction.
- b) Time and Cost Efficiency
Because CNC machining reduces manual intervention, production times drop while labour costs decrease.
- c) Consistency Across Batches
Each piece is a replica of the previous one, ensuring consistent quality.
3. CNC Machining vs Manual Machining
