Abstract

Numerical Control (NC) technology is a key and generic enabling technology to promote the upgrading of mechanical products. Considering the barriers in technology and capital, among others that affect small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and that may lead to market failure and organization failure, there is a serious "Death Valley" phenomenon in the application of generic enabling technology. The working principle of the NC Generation Demonstration Project is to take demand as traction, innovation as driving power, and enterprise as the main body of technological innovation; and then to combine multivariate innovation between industry, universities, academic research, finance, and government, break through at key points, and successfully demonstrate NC generation projects. The NC Generation Demonstration Project applies NC technology to the mechanical products of a typical industry, essentially improving the product performance. In general, it speeds up the overall upgrading of mechanical products and promotes the transformation and upgrading of an enterprise toward sustainable development. In this way, the NC Generation Demonstration Project bridges the gap between generic enabling technology R&D and enterprises’ innovative production. This project has led to some remarkable accomplishments, and is a successful example of the application of generic enabling technology. The NC Generation Demonstration Project provides a helpful reference and establishes a solid foundation for the further implementation of the comprehensive popularization of NC technology in various industries and regions.
