In a new revision of our blog, we're going back to the future. Three years after the invention of CNC turning, following up on our 2012 piece about CNC turning and its effect on industry, we look at how the technology continues to impact manufacturing in areas well beyond rotary engraving
With all of the talk about 3D printing and other technologies that are changing traditional manufacturing processes, it's easy to overlook one of the most revolutionary changes to manufacturing in decades: computer numerical control (CNC) turning
The first commercial application of CNC turning was in woodworking when it was developed by Richard Joseph Gosser in 1979. Since then, CNC machines have evolved into tools for metalworking, plastic injection molding (PI), and even additive manufacturing (AM).
