1. Know In-Detail About Basics of CNC Engineering
To start with the basics, CNC stands for computer numerically controlled. The CNC
machines are used for engineering. People in various kinds of industries use these
kinds of machines all across the globe. The computer controlled machines were
created with the basic objective to detect things that the human eye could not detect.
As we know, the computer controlled machines are highly capable of detecting and
carrying out those functions, which the human eye might not be able to notice also.
The industries that use machines to manufacture goods have greatly benefited from
these computer controlled machines.

The History Behind The Computer Controlled Machines
There have been great changes in technology. As it is obvious, the computer
controlled machines are not the first kind of invention or change in technology.
Before the computer controlled machines, people extensively used the numerically
controlled machines and they were invented in the 1940’s and 1950’s. However, with
the change in time and technology, the first ever kinds of computer controlled
machines were created and used for the aerospace industry. The time was during the
Second World War that these kinds of machines were used by the very renowned
aerospace industry. The usage of computers then was very limited as people were
not completely computer literate. Also, not a lot of people could afford buying such

2. expensive computers or machines. If the scenario is compared with today, there are
huge numbers of people who use computers as it one of the greatest inventions of
technology. Computers have undoubtedly made lives much more easier and
comfortable.
What Is Modern Computer Numerically Controlled?
There is without a doubt, great difference before the primitive and the modern kind
of computer numerically controlled machines. The modern kinds of computer
numerically controlled machines are used for precision engineering. It is mostly used
for keeping a track on the accounts of production. Manufacturing, sale, profits etc.
the machines are used extensively as people can no longer keep a track on their
business accounts. As times have changed, people are more reliable on their
computer systems more than the human mind. The human mind is still capable of
storing a lot of data and information. But, as people are much reliable on their
systems, there is hardly any kind of business firm that does not keep systems with
them.

Less Labor More Machinery
Though with the invention of the computer numerically controlled machines, the
amount of labor required in a factory set up has definitely reduced as most of the
work is done by the machines only. The machines are capable of doing the same

3. amount of work that some labor when coupled up would do. The real challenge is to
hire less labor but the labor that is appointed needs to be computer literate and they
must also have the knowhow of using the machines so that they are used to its
fullest capacity. If one does not know how to use the machine, then the machine is
next to being useless. So people need to be in complete touch with technology so
that they can use the machines to their fullest capacity and capability. Modern CNC
machines might be a little complicated to use, but it is a proven fact that these
machines are of great benefit to the industries. Also, the machines can be used by
people from any industry, there is no restriction that the computer numerically
controlled machines need to be used only by particular industries for particular uses.
The uses of the machines are best for precision engineering so as to produce the
desired results.
