To accelerate the transformation of economic growth pattern, efforts should be centered on adjustment and optimization of industrial structure with the key being upgrading of products. Numerical control is an effective approach to the innovation of mechanical products. The technique route is to replace power unit and gear of traditional machinery with servo motor driving system and to control mechanical movement and working process with CNC system, thus fundamentally improving product function and performance, and enhancing product market competitiveness. The “NC Generation” mechanical product innovation project, involving NC technology applications and innovation of mechanical products, is one that is driven by huge demands from development of machinery industry and boosted by mature NC technology. The execution of this project should fully harness the nation's superiority in system by carrying organized innovation. Following an integrated, collaborate innovation technology route with “enterprise as the dominant force, market as the guidance, and featured by combination of governments, producers, schools, research institutes and users”, the project should be planned comprehensively, implemented step by step and with focuses, and advanced in an all-around way. The objective is to popularize and apply NC technology, to realize the overall innovation and upgrading of China's mechanical products in ten years and ultimately to contribute to China shifting from a giant manufacturing force to a powerful nation.
