Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The production of parts with complex-shaped surfaces is one of the most important and technologically demanding tasks in modern mechanical engineering.Such surfaces are widely used in aerospace engineering, automotive manufacturing, energy systems, shipbuilding, medical equipment, and precision instrument production.Increasing requirements for dimensional accuracy, surface integrity, and manufacturing productivity have stimulated the development of advanced machining technologies and intelligent manufacturing systems.This paper presents a comprehensive review of modern methods used for machining complex-shaped surfaces, including multi-axis CNC milling, grinding, electrical discharge machining, electrochemical machining, laser processing, ultrasonic machining, and additive manufacturing.The advantages, disadvantages, technological features, and industrial applications of each method are analyzed.Special attention is paid to CAD/CAM technologies, digital manufacturing, Industry 4.0 concepts, and process optimization techniques that improve machining accuracy and production efficiency.The study concludes that combining modern machining technologies with computer-aided manufacturing significantly enhances product quality while reducing production costs and machining time.
