👉 Turned engineering, also known as machining or subtractive manufacturing, is a process where material is removed from a larger block to create a desired shape or part. This technique involves using cutting tools, such as lathes, mills, and grinders, to precisely remove material from a workpiece, typically a rotating or stationary component. The process begins with a solid block of material, which is placed on a machine bed. The machine then applies controlled cutting forces to the tool, which moves along the workpiece's surface, gradually reducing its size. Turned engineering allows for high precision and complex geometries, making it essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing where exact dimensions and surface finishes are critical.
