the key players in the developing CNC industry is Haas Automation – a company which Martin confirms was relatively unknown outside of engineering until it became a major F1 component manufacturer .
“ DMG Mori , which sponsors the Porsche works teams , has also grown massively ,” says Martin . “ These types of ventures and partnerships will become more popular and appealing for big name teams to promote their technical status . Formula E is obviously the new growth area for manufacturers to flex their technological muscles , so I think you could see more associations being made with hightech CNC machining here as much as anywhere else .”
As a popular passion for fans of all ages , motorsport has really boosted the visibility of CNC machining as the leading edge in flexible , adaptable component creation . This , alongside businesses like Percy Martin making second-hand machines accessible , will likely be at the forefront of helping the market fulfil its predicted boost , as well as adding an element of cool to parts manufacturing .
