We wouldn’t have the civilisation we know today if it wasn’t for precision machining. If you just look around you’re sure to see something that has been precision machined in some form or another. It might just be a small component for a particular object but this is enough to show the true importance it holds in today’s society. It’s because so many things can be made using this type of machining that society is the way it is today and if this wasn’t the case then a lot of the things you see around you wouldn’t be able to exist at all. Loads of industries benefit from precision machining. The transport industry is a great example to illustrate this point. All sorts of transport need to have parts made in this way so they are able to do what they are intended for which is to take us from one destination to the next. There are many components which make up the engines in cars and motorbikes and it’s essential some are able to be cut into exact shapes and sizes to fulfil their purposes efficiently. Other forms of transport also use this type of engineering such as bicycles, trains and even aeroplanes. For many people imagining a life without any of these methods of transport is probably hard to do because we are so used to this way of life and rely on such methods of transport for carrying out our day to day business in an easy manner. Precision machining is used in lots of items you’d see by just taking a quick look around the house. It might be a hoover, a washing machine or even a kitchen tap. Life would certainly be a lot harder if we suddenly didn’t have these things and couldn’t rely on them to help us with our everyday needs. But it is not only these fairly simplistic items; it’s also the services we rely on such as defence and health services. This type of engineering is essential for things like hip replacements and new knee joints too. We’d be living a life of horse and carts if we couldn’t machine things in the way we need to. We’re already beginning to need renewable and environmentally friendly technologies and when these are built they rely on having parts and components cut to exactly the way they need to be. Space exploration is most likely going to continue in the future and it is essential that components for these are machined to really tight tolerances so the equipment used in space works extremely efficiently. As a result it is clear to see that precision machining is bound to have an impact on the future as well.
