APRIL 2021AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialThe global aerospace industry has always been at the cutting-edge of modern manufacturing practices and technologies. On that front, the extremely high level of precision required within the industry has made computer numerical control (CNC) machining the ideal manufacturing process for the sector, given CNC machining can achieve very tight tolerances for metals and plastic parts. However, the role of CNC machining has grown beyond the production of aircraft end-use parts today, with many aerospace companies leveraging CNC machining in their research and development (R&D) as it aids in the rapid iteration of testing and editing new component designs.As aerospace manufacturers are increasingly seeking ways to improve productivity and flexibility while cutting costs, technological trends in CMC machining are also evolving subsequently. The advent of 6-axis CNC machining, the surge in machines-as-a-platform, the advancements in computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, the widespread adoption of collaborative robots (cobots), the introduction of adaptive control technology, and similar trends will enable CNC machining to provide greater agility than ever before in the coming years. It will offer a key competitive advantage for the manufacturers as ever-growing consumer expectations are fueling the rise of on-demand manufacturing.In this edition of Aerospace and Defense Review, we bring you the story of some of the most promising CNC machining service companies that deliver the best outcomes for their clients. This edition also offers a combination of thought leadership articles from subject matter experts and exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs. We hope this edition will provide you with the right assistance in choosing the best CNC machining service company according to your requirements.Let us know your thoughts!At the Cutting-Edge of Innovation Jonathan AllredManaging Editoreditor@aerospacedefensereview.comCopyright © 2021 ValleyMedia Inc., All rights reserved.
