What is modern machining?

Modern machining refers to the use of advanced technology and computer-controlled equipment to shape and fabricate metal and other materials with high precision. This includes techniques such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and electrical discharge machining (EDM). These methods offer improved accuracy, efficiency, and the ability to produce complex parts that would be difficult or impossible with traditional machining methods. Modern machining is widely used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.
