Before precision engineering became common in manufacturing, the shaping of materials such as metal and plastics required constant supervision by a human operator. This would quite regularly lead to errors in the form of inaccurate measurements and inferior quality.
Thanks to advancements in computer technology and the upskilling of operators, parts and components can now be manufactured to the tightest of specifications with flawless accuracy. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Turning is just one of the methods that has facilitated this, leading to a boom in the UK precision engineering industry.
