In which industries are precision machining methods primarily applied？

It is typically exemplified by the mass production in the automotive industry, aerospace components, shipbuilding parts, and the testing of new models and engines. Meanwhile, the primary service of the mold and die industry in mass production pertains to single-piece and small-batch manufacturing. Precision machining plays a pivotal role in small-batch production, serving as an effective method to save time and material costs, and expedite the product marketing cycle.

Small-batch production is closely related to hand models, which are the prerequisite for precision machining. Precision machining is established on the basis of hand models. Precision machining can largely meet the needs of more personalized product customization. In short, precision machining is essential for creating key components in many demanding applications.

The finished parts produced through machining are much more precise than those produced through standard CNC manufacturing. This is an excellent solution to meet stringent project requirements, such as tight tolerances: with the right equipment, precision machining can produce parts with tolerances less than ±0.0001 inches. Repeatability: Successful precision machining means that parts must be able to be repeatedly machined to the same strict tolerances. Volume: Precision machining practices can meet almost any volume requirement, from prototypes to large-scale production and turnkey projects.

It can be used for precision machining of various raw materials such as plastics, ceramics, metals, composite materials, steel, bronze, graphite, and glass. A range of tools are available for precision cutting and complex removal of raw materials. These tools vary depending on the raw material. Commonly used tools include milling machines, lathes, electric discharge machines (also known as EDM), sawing machines, and grinding machines. A more common manufacturing equipment is computer-controlled heavy machinery, which is used to remove the base material and form fine parts. In some cases, high-speed robots and photochemical processes can even be used to achieve the desired results for the final product.
