Aside from the need for periodic maintenance, CNC machines can operate almost continuously. One person can oversee the operation of several CNC machines at a time.
Ease of Use
CNC machines are easier for beginners to use than lathes and milling machines.
Expanding Options
Software changes and updates make it possible to expand the machine's capabilities rather than replacing the machine.
No Prototyping
New designs and parts can be programmed directly into a CNC machine, eliminating the need to build a prototype.
Precision
Parts made on a CNC machine are identical to each other.
Reduce Waste
CNC programs can plan the lay out of the pieces to be machined on the material to be used. This allows the machine to minimize wasted material.
