2. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control ( CNC ), [ 1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. It is used to operate tools such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers and 3D printers. CNC transforms a piece of material ( metal, plastic, wood, ceramic ...

3. G-code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code

   G-code (also RS-274) is the most widely used computer numerical control (CNC) and 3D printing programming language. It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools, as well as for 3D-printer slicer applications. The G stands for geometry. G-code has many variants. G-code instructions are provided to a ...

4. CNC router - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNC_router

   CNC router. A computer numerical control ( CNC) router is a computer-controlled cutting machine which typically mounts a hand-held router as a spindle which is used for cutting various materials, such as wood, composites, metals, plastics, glass, and foams. CNC routers can perform the tasks of many carpentry shop machines such as the panel saw ...

5. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_numerical_control

   The history of numerical control (NC) began when the automation of machine tools first incorporated concepts of abstractly programmable logic, and it continues today with the ongoing evolution of computer numerical control (CNC) technology. The first NC machines were built in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing tools that were modified with ...

6. APT (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_(programming_language)

   Programming language. APT is used to program numerically-controlled machine tools to create complex parts using a cutting tool moving in space. It is used to calculate a path that a tool must follow to generate a desired form. APT is a special-purpose language and the predecessor to modern computer aided manufacturing (CAM) systems.

7. Computer-aided manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing

   CAD model and CNC machined part. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) also known as computer-aided modeling or computer-aided machining [1] [2] [3] is the use of software to control machine tools in the manufacturing of work pieces.
