Precut Processing Worker (Woodworking)
ぷれかっとかこうこう（もっこう）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Occupation that precisely cuts and processes structural materials for housing and buildings using dedicated machines based on CAD drawings.
Description
Precut processors (woodworking) operate NC routers and automatic precut machines to cut and process structural materials such as beams, columns, and foundations for wooden structures, following design data created with CAD. Processing accuracy of lumber dimensions and cut surface finishes directly impact structural strength and construction efficiency, requiring high attention to detail and machine operation skills. After processing, they attach hardware, mark pieces, finish them into shapes easy to assemble in the factory, and prepare for site delivery. In recent years, automation and robotics are advancing, requiring skills in CAD data utilization and machine maintenance.
Future Outlook
With expanding demand for wooden housing and wood-based construction, advances in automation and robotics mean demand for processors skilled in processing accuracy and data utilization is expected to remain stable.
