“If it wasn’t created by God, a machinist made it.” While this may be a generalization that does not tell the entire truth, it does explain some things. Through Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machining, machinists can machine parts faster and with greater, more reliable precision. Even with the increase in technologies such as nanofabrication, injection molding, and 3D printing, the world is in love with CNC machining, and it is here to stay for a long time because of the reasons below.
Jobs Creation
American manufacturing employment peaked in 1979, and since then, the industry has steadily lost jobs to automation, outsourcing, robotics, and AI. However, a job in advanced manufacturing supports another 16 jobs indirectly in the economy. With CNC equipment in Chicago and the rest of the country, there are smart people who are working hard in the high-tech manufacturing sector creating jobs for all the rest.
Stability
True, many new technologies seem to be coming out every day. However, that does not mean that you should lack faith in CNC machines to chase after the new techniques and tools. This is because some of the most reliable technological advancements in the last 100 years were made using CNC machining. Whether a company manufactures doorstops, gaskets, or fire extinguishers in Chicago, CNC equipment is likely part of the supply chain.
Mobile CNC Machines for the General Public
Like the Internet, CNC machining is evolving to the point of becoming fully mobile. Already there is plenty of home CNC equipment, and Chicago homeowners use them for cutting plastics, wood, and metal pieces that can fit on a coffee table. Soon you may carry a CNC machine in your pocket for creating whatever you want.
The evolution of CNC capabilities brings the world to a new realization – the world of creating objects instantaneously. With the development of CNC equipment, for Chicago creators, being on the cutting edge is going to be more important than ever before, and this will determine the leaders in industries of the future.
