CNC machining is useful as a manufacturing process of customized spare parts that aren’t available as a standardized product from importers or mass production firms. The manufacturing process of CNC turning allows for batch to high volume production of items designed to customer requirements or client supplied drawings.
Reverse Engineering can be used to design customized replacement parts of items that aren’t available from present day markets. This is especially important in preventive maintenance or when refurbishing old machinery and equipment. Custom made spare parts are machined for various industries like food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturers, packaging machines, mining equipment, earthmoving, construction mineral processing or any industry that uses spare parts made from steel, aluminium, brass, bronze and other metals. Wood and polymers can also be processes on the lath. CNC means computerized numerical control.
New prototypes of machinery and equipment may require customization of their components and CNC manufacturing can provide items made to order and specifications.
