Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a manufacturing process in which computers control machine tools like mills, lathes, and routers to precisely cut, shape, or engrave materials such as metal, wood, or plastic according to programmed instructions. Machinists and engineers use CAD/CAM software to design parts and generate the G-code that drives CNC machines, enabling highly repeatable and precise production in industries like aerospace, automotive, and custom fabrication. It's a core skill in modern machining and manufacturing careers, as well as a popular hobbyist pursuit for makers building custom parts.
