About this skill
Creating prototypes from technical designs using a computer controlled lathe that cuts to ultra-fine specifications.
When engineers want to know if a specific part of a design is going to work, they look to CNC Turning. The finished article is used to create pieces of machinery that are often highly-complex. A typical car has around 10,000 parts alone.
A trained operator will be familiar with many types of materials, ensuring the dimensions of the finished piece exactly match the design specifications.
