Traditional crafts contain wisdom, and CNC technology is efficient and accurate. The two are not in opposition, but mutual reference and integration. Tradition adds art to CNC, and CNC helps traditional new development. Together, they build the future manufacturing mainstream and promote product diversification and industrial progress in many industries.
In the process of continuous development and evolution of the manufacturing industry, both traditional crafts and modern CNC technology have unique status and value, and the discussion about which one will become the mainstream in the future is becoming increasingly heated.
Traditional crafts carry the wisdom and skills of mankind for thousands of years. Like hand-carved wood, craftsmen use their exquisite techniques and deep understanding of wood grain and texture to give wood fresh vitality with one chisel and one axe, creating works with great artistic appeal and cultural connotation. In traditional forging technology, blacksmiths use repeated hammering and fire control to make metal into exquisite swords or practical farm tools, and their products often have unique handmade texture and charm. These traditional crafts play an irreplaceable role in the field of culture and art, such as intangible cultural heritage inheritance and high-end crafts production. The ingenuity they contain is also a treasure of human civilization.

Modern CNC technology occupies an important position in large-scale industrial production with its advantages of high efficiency, precision and strong repeatability. In the automotive manufacturing industry, CNC machining centers can quickly and accurately process complex parts such as engine blocks and transmission gears, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and performance consistency of each product, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality. In the electronics industry, CNC equipment can perform fine drilling and circuit engraving on tiny circuit boards, helping electronic products to continue to develop towards miniaturization and high performance.
However, it is one-sided to simply oppose the two and judge which one is the mainstream in the future. In fact, they are more like a complementary partnership. Modern CNC technology can draw on the design concepts and artistic elements in traditional crafts to add unique charm to products. For example, some CNC-processed metal ornaments refer to the patterns and shapes of traditional filigree inlay crafts, so that the products have both the precision of modern manufacturing and the beauty of traditional art.
Traditional crafts can also be innovatively developed with the help of modern CNC technology. For example, the use of CNC laser engraving technology to innovate traditional paper-cutting art can achieve more complex pattern design and mass production, and broaden the market application scope of traditional crafts. In the field of cultural relics restoration, CNC technology can assist traditional craftsmen to more accurately replicate and repair damaged parts, allowing ancient traditional crafts to be revitalized with the help of modern technology.

The mainstream of the future manufacturing industry may be a model of deep integration of traditional crafts and modern CNC technology. In different application scenarios, the two take their strengths and jointly promote the continuous progress of the manufacturing industry in product quality, production efficiency, cultural connotation and other aspects, which not only meets the needs of large-scale standardized production, but also provides possibilities for personalized and artistic high-end product manufacturing, thus creating a more colorful and competitive new manufacturing ecology.
