In the metal cutting industry, in addition to the use of advanced technology than no choice. Growing demand for future processing, only the use of advanced processing technology in order to meet these needs. In order to respond to changing production requirements and increasingly challenging workpiece material, cutting tool technology is rapidly developing. Today's mechanical processing needs in a different way with the past to look at their cutting tools and tool suppliers.

　Sandvik Coromant tool company responsible for the development of aviation project manager ChrisMills pointed to the aviation industry, for example, in order to meet the industry demand for the next 20 years of manufacturing, processing capacity needs to be manufactured on the basis of the existing 2-fold increase. How can this be done? Whether to maintain the existing level of technology in the processing of the case simply increase the number of machine tools two times it? It is almost impossible. Increase the current level of technology means that the number of machines to be increased by the same percentage of workers in machine operation, it is hard to imagine, because today's mechanical processing is difficult to hire enough qualified workers to operate the machine. Therefore, the processing capacity needs to be increased by 2 times to meet through technological progress, namely the use of cutting the number of staff available to perform more work.

　Well, these technological advances come from it? Machine of course included, they are faster, higher and higher precision. However, the work itself is not based on an incremental approach in the development of the same, they are essentially in the constantly changing. Today, not only in the accuracy of the workpiece to be machined, delivery and quality requirements are high, and more and more use of many shops had never encountered difficult materials to manufacture. These materials include titanium alloys, nickel-based alloys and compacted graphite iron (CGI), in addition to a variety of engineering composite materials (in more and more applications, composites are replacing metal materials). In other words, now the speed of development and intensity of work in excess of their machine tools for cutting. To compensate for the machine and workpiece gap that exists between, and to catch up with processing capacity of processing needs in today's metal cutting industry, the most important technological advances will come from cutting tools.

　Cutting tools - and tool suppliers - the role of the changes taking place faster and faster, than the machining process any other element. In fact, the cutting tool change so great that any enterprising machinery factory now need to re-evaluate their ideas about cutting tool. Not only do they need to study how to use a particular tool, and the need to re-examine the impact of the application of the entire workshop tools basic philosophy. In these core concepts, some of today have become obsolete because of the cutting tool has changed the rules.

　Recently, there are three companies related with the cutting tool to provide some information about the needs of today's mechanical processing at different ways to think about the application of the insights tool. These companies include:
　① Diamond Innovations Inc. (DiamondInnovations):
　　 a world-leading level of cubic boron nitride (CBN) and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tool material suppliers;
　② Precision Dormer (PrecisionDormer):
　　 the two to provide efficient drilling tools and thread cutting tools company consortium;
　③ Sandvik Coromant (SandvikCoromant):
　　 World number one supplier of metal cutting tools.

　These companies are listed a number of engineering experts in today's cutting tools features and applications affect the elements, some of which elements include:
　(1) challenging the workpiece material. Including alternative metal materials and difficult to machine alloys.
　　 Some of the material workability less steel 1/4, and some material prices can be up to hundreds of dollars per pound.
　(2) the increasingly complex workpiece geometries.
　　 For example, thin-walled workpieces and complex shapes aviation parts.
　(3) large size workpieces. In particular a turbine, and various heavy machinery parts increasing demand.
　　 These artifacts are very high cost of processing each piece has placed enormous demands.
