i believe, we need to have ultra advanced machines to replace what a mechanical machinist do with, inclusion of robots at the workstation, competent enough to setup a machine and produce dimensionally accurate parts.

CNC is pretty automated at it is already.

The machines can make parts but you will always need someone to observe and operate the machines as there are many dexterous tasks that will be unable to be done by machines. In addition due to the highly precision nature many small errors such as poorly cleaning off a tool holder or not detecting metal chips or burrs which happen unpredictably and inconsistently it will be incredibly difficult to automate the entire process.

Machining has a large amounts of variables that change with each job. Simple operations could see automation, but complicated components will likely always need human input.

I worked the machinist field well over 4 decades starting mid 70s mostly running milling machines CNC eliminated rotory tables, manual index head and tailstock, manually cutting splines, racks, cutting helix on gear driven head

CNC machinists/programmers will be the individuals setting up, programming, and running the robots that will take a lot of currently existing jobs. Good machinists will soon be running CNC and are also likely to be running 3D printers and robotics.

Robotics and automation currently play, and will continue to play, a larger role in a CNC machinist's career. CNC machinists won't lose jobs to automation; they will be the ones who implement the automation that costs a lot of other jobs.

However, there has been historically, and will continue to be, fewer machinists and workers involved in manufacturing. But CNC machinists will never be non-existent.

Deductive manufacturing currently doesn't have the technology to be replaced, but maybe someday the tech will.

True experienced machinists are important in setting up current CNC machines. However, machine operators being needed to perform manual functions will be replaced with AI enhanced robots. Even today where robots are operating 24/7, their cost paid for quickly.

Corp. Looking for ways to increase their profits, efficiency and speed in manufacturing. AI will be to manufacturing as e-commerce is to retail.

Machinists are very likely to be automated because of additive manufacturing especially 3D Printing , even though i am not employed, i have however been personally studying the topic of automation for at least 4 years on some of my spare time almost everyday

Currently a machinist, as a disclosure.

Currently, there is this ongoing idea that the field of machining is slated to be overrun by automation. What this fails to take in to account is the fact that this has already largely happened. Machinists themselves are growing fewer in number and greater in age. CNC Machines have made a large number of machining processes and related workers redunant, but this revolution took place decades ago already.
