How Does Precision Machining Work?

Precision machining is a subtractive process where custom software, engineered tools, and process steps are utilized with raw material such as plastic, ceramic, metal or composites to create desired fine-featured products. Precision machining often follows the instructions given by computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) programs. These programs and the blueprints enhance the ability to meet tight tolerances. While most designs end up as engineered and computer aided designs, many start out as hand drawn sketches in the initial phases.
