What Are The Different Types of Products and Designs That Can Be Made Using CNC?

CNC or Computer Numerical Control machining is one of the most creative and impressive manufacturing processes in the world, delivering products of immaculate quality, sheer ambition, and grand scale. In this article, we will be looking at some of our favourite products and designs that have been made by CNC and how they come in handy for your everyday life and interior decoration.

First of all, let’s explain CNC first and what it’s capable of doing.

An Introduction to CNC Machining

Over the last couple of decades, we’ve seen CNC machining enter the mainstream thanks to countless useful and impressive applications through a range of industries, such as fashion, transport, food, sports, and more. Businesses are using the machines and CNC manufacturing process to create simple and timeless pieces for some applications, as well as fulfilling ultra-complex designs that go beyond what the human hand is capable of.

What we’ve also seen over the last couple of decades of greater CNC use is a more cost-effective process, with machines becoming more affordable and easier to repair. At the same, the skills of machinists, operatives, and engineers (people prefer to go by different titles) have increased, keeping them employed as the complexity of some machines increased whilst others simplified (typically for amateurs and hobbyists).
