Cycle Time Estimator enables CAM Assist customers to generate estimates for 3+2 axis parts up to 20 times faster by automating the estimation procedure for many parts at once. This development enables machine shops to more effectively use their resources while quoting for and winning more contracts.

The incorporation of this technology allows real-time monitoring and data analytics to be used to improve the effectiveness of machines and optimize the schedule of planned maintenance. Such connectivity enhances overall equipment effectiveness and supports smart manufacturing systems. Multi-axis CNC machines allow for increased complexity and thus the production of harder, more complex geometries and intricate designs with high precision. Advanced multi-axis CNC technology is critical in aerospace and automobile industries, whose components have geometric forms that are of complex dimensions requiring sophisticated machining processes.

Wide Range of Applications Along with Precision Manufacturing to Fuel Market Growth

The market for computer numerical control machines is growing rapidly due to the wide spectrum of applications across multiple industries. Such versatility makes technology relevant and propels the demand and innovation in the industry. Manufacturing plays a crucial role in market growth. High-precision parts are manufactured by industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, electronics, and others. CNC machines offer the required precision when it comes to quality control in industries where every minute detail is crucial, as errors could result in major halts.

Due to trends such as the increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) and the development of more sophisticated telecommunications equipment, the demand for high-precision components is on the rise. Given this growth, it becomes necessary to have the advanced machining processes that CNC machines offer. With precision manufacturing along with smart manufacturing worldwide, CNC manufacturing companies are launching new advanced CNC machines for specific applications while integrating with robotics and AI.

For instance, in April 2024, Tormach Inc. launched 1500MX CNC for milling applications. The mill can be integrated with the ZA6 robot arm for machine tending. The new 1500MX from Tormach is a three-axis, linear rail, servo-driven mill with a granite epoxy frame, perfect for commercial enterprises as it blends professional-grade features with user-friendly and compact adaptability.

Higher Demand for Automation and Enhanced Software to Fuel Market Growth

The growth of CNC machines is highly influenced by automation in manufacturing spaces. Automated CNC systems are increasingly being paired with industrial robots to enhance production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve safety by minimizing human intervention in hazardous environments. From automotive and aerospace to manufacturing and medical equipment, the role of CNC machining has increased. The technology is being integrated with AI and IoT, which is fastening the automation systems.

Furthermore, the design-to-production process is being streamlined through ongoing advancements in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) software. With the use of these tools, machining operations may be better simulated, visualized, and controlled, increasing accuracy and cutting lead times. Companies tend to launch new CAD/CAM systems designed for CNC machining. For instance, in September 2024, Ency Software Ltd. launched new CAD/CAM systems for CNC machines and robot programming. It has functions designed to increase efficiency and teamwork in production processes. The solutions center on using automation and improved technologies to modernize production.

Apart from the software support for CNC machining, manufacturers focus on transforming manufacturing methods, including smart and additive manufacturing.

For instance, in May 2023, DMG MORI CO., LTD. launched Lasertec 30 SLM for additive manufacturing. The LASERTEC series from DMG MORI Co., LTD. offers the right machine for any application. LASERTEC unlocks new economic possibilities in laser precision machining.

Multi-Tasking and Integration of CNC Technology to Dominate Market Share

Based on product type, machine centers hold the major share of the market in terms of revenue. It is due to the multitasking operation that the machining center delivers, including milling, drilling, tapping, and boring, inside a single setup. The diversity of the applications limits the demand for multiple machines, minimizing the setup time and cost. This efficiency is particularly beneficial for mass production environments where cost control is critical. The ability to complete multiple processes in one machine leads to significant savings in labor and equipment maintenance.

The incorporation of advanced CNC controls allows for enhanced automation and precision in machining processes. This technology enables real-time monitoring and adjustments, improving overall production efficiency. Multitasking machines work better when IoT and AI technologies are integrated into them. These developments enable data analytics, predictive maintenance, and real-time monitoring, which enhance operational effectiveness and decision-making procedures.

For instance, in September 2022, Makino Inc. launched the Slim3n three-axis vertical machining center. The machine delivers high-performance, space-efficient solutions for component and part processes demanding turnkey and automation to International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2022. The Slim3n adds to the Makino portfolio of machines at the heart of its turnkey and automation solutions for market areas such as automotive, die casting, medical, and others. It is equally well-suited for single-machine job shop applications and is part of a multi-machine installation in high-volume/low-mix production environments.

Asia-Pacific Holds the Major Computer Numerical Control Machine Market Share

Based on region, Asia-Pacific leads the market share in terms of revenue. Countries such as China and India have become major manufacturing hubs, driving demand for CNC machines. The rapid growth of industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics necessitate advanced machining technologies to meet production needs. Supportive government policies aimed at fostering modern manufacturing technologies have spurred the adoption of CNC machines. Initiatives promoting Make in India and similar campaigns in other countries encourage local production and technological advancements.

The region has seen substantial foreign direct investment (FDI) in manufacturing sectors, particularly from multinational corporations seeking to capitalize on lower labor costs and growing consumer markets. This influx of capital has enhanced the capabilities of local manufacturers to adopt advanced CNC technologies.

For instance, in April 2024, Mitsubishi Electric India (Mitsubishi Electric Corporation) launched M80LA CNC for the turning segment. The machine is specially launched to support efficient and smart manufacturing. This CNC machining comes with multi-set spindle synchronization, and interference checks between part systems.
