Accuracy<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of CAD-CAM applications massively increase the control over the production process, which when used for CNC milling can mean a significant increase in accuracy. Our site (based in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.m-cnc.co.uk\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bridgwater Somerset<\/a>), is home to state of the art machinery and software which enables us to be accurate to .001 of a millimetre.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3.
