In the vast field of manufacturing, machining plays a pivotal role, with turning and milling standing out as two core processes that are indispensable.

Refers to the method of using machinery to cut, grind, and sharpen materials.

Parts are composed of several surfaces, with certain dimensions and mutual positioning requirements between each surface.

Before diving into specific tactics, understand the underlying mindset: Lean Manufacturing. The goal of Lean is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Waste is defined as any activity that does not add value from the customer's perspective. 

The primary goal is to ensure that every machined part conforms precisely to its design specifications (dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, etc.) and is free from defects. Effective QC minimizes scrap, reduces rework, saves costs, and builds customer trust.

Laser cutting is a digital manufacturing process that uses a highly focused beam of light—a laser—to cut, etch, or engrave materials with extreme precision.
