Etymology

The term 'machined' originates from the word 'machine', which dates back to the late Middle Ages, derived from the Latin 'machina' meaning device or contraption. The evolution of machining began in the 18th century with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, marking the shift from hand tools to powered machines. This transformation led to increased production capabilities and precision, crucial for developing new technologies and industries. Over time, the methods and equipment used in machining have advanced significantly, incorporating computer numerical control (CNC) systems for enhanced accuracy and repeatability. Today, machining encompasses a wide range of processes and materials, playing a vital role in modern manufacturing.
