Abstract: This article delves into the challenges faced by CNC technology during its development, such as technological bottlenecks, talent shortages, and cost pressures. Correspondingly, it proposes countermeasures including technological innovation, talent cultivation, and cost control to facilitate the continuous development of CNC technology.

With the ever - increasing requirements for precision and complexity in the manufacturing industry, the existing CNC technology has difficulties in meeting the demands for higher precision and more complex surface machining in certain high - end fields, such as ultra - precision machining of micro - nano structures. This restricts its application in cutting - edge manufacturing areas.

CNC technology involves knowledge from multiple fields, including machinery, electrical engineering, and programming. It is challenging to cultivate compound talents who understand both the principles and can perform practical operations. Currently, the number of professional talents cannot meet the rapid development needs of the industry, and enterprises often face difficulties in recruitment.

The research and development costs of high - precision CNC equipment are high. The dependence on imported core components further raises the equipment price. Moreover, the costs of equipment maintenance and upgrading are also substantial, imposing a significant cost burden on small and medium - sized enterprises and limiting the popularization of CNC technology.

Increase investment in scientific research and encourage cooperation between universities, research institutions, and enterprises to develop new numerical control systems and processing technologies, breaking through technological bottlenecks in precision, speed, etc. For example, develop new sensors to improve the monitoring accuracy during the processing.

Optimize the curriculum settings of relevant majors in vocational education and higher education, increase practical teaching links, and cultivate practical - oriented talents. Enterprises can also carry out in - house training to enhance the skill levels of employees.

Domestic enterprises should strengthen independent research and development to achieve the localization of core components and reduce equipment procurement costs. At the same time, optimize equipment maintenance management to extend the service life of equipment and reduce overall costs.
