How does CNC machining contribute to the automation of manufacturing processes?

CNC machining contributes to the automation of manufacturing processes by replacing manual labor with computer-controlled machinery. It allows for precision and consistency in producing parts that would be difficult or impossible to achieve through manual methods. It also reduces the risk of errors and improves production speed, making the manufacturing process more efficient and cost-effective. CNC machines can operate continuously, even overnight, with minimal supervision, which can increase productivity and reduce labor costs. Additionally, the use of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software allow for streamlined communication between the design and production stages, further enhancing automation and efficiency.
