Computer Numerical Control (CNC) refers to a computer-assisted, highly accurate manufacturing process in which controlled machining is automated using pre-programmed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, eliminating the need for an operator. The fundamental benefit of CNC machines is their ability to run unattended throughout the manufacturing and machining cycles, allowing the operator to perform other work elsewhere.
The main types of Computer Numerical Controls include lathe machines, milling machines, laser machines, grinding machines, welding machines, winding machines, and others. A lathe machine is a machine tool used to remove metal from a workpiece to achieve the desired form and size. The various product types involved are software and solutions used by aerospace and defense, automobile, electronics, healthcare, and other end-use industries.
