2. G-code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code

   G-code (abbreviation for geometric code; also called RS-274 [citation needed]) 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 .

3. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   Many use G-code. Functions include: face milling, shoulder milling, tapping, drilling and some even offer turning. Today, CNC mills can have 3 to 6 axes. Most CNC mills require placing the workpiece on or in them and must be at least as big as the workpiece, but new 3-axis machines are being produced that are much smaller. Lathe

4. Canned cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canned_cycle

   (The term "Macro programming" in this sense is distinctly different from its more common use to refer to the action of programming a macro in G-code.) Fanuc controllers (and most others, because Fanuc compatibility is a de facto standard) support the following fixed cycles: Source: Smid 2008 [2] These are examples used on a mill.

5. STEP-NC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STEP-NC

   STEP-NC interface on a CNC, showing product shape and color-coded tolerance state. STEP-NC is a machine tool control language that extends the ISO 10303 STEP standards with the machining model in ISO 14649, [1] adding geometric dimension and tolerance data for inspection, and the STEP PDM model for integration into the wider enterprise.

6. Part program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_program

   The part program is a sequence of instruction that describe the work that is to be done to a part. Typically these instructions are generated in Computer-aided manufacturing software and are then fed into the computer numerical control (CNC) software on the machines, such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers, that are performing work on the part.

7. Cutter location - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutter_location

   This is where CAM becomes especially vital and far outshines manual programming. Typically the CAM vector output is postprocessed into G-code by a postprocessor program that is tailored to the particular CNC control model. Some late-model CNC controls accept the vector output directly, and do the translation to servo inputs themselves, internally.

8. APT (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

   Its development was centered at the same MIT labs that hosted the Numerical Control and the Milling Machine Projects. APT also was US Air Force sponsored and is notable for being the world's first major cooperative programming venture, combining government agencies, universities, and a 14-company team organized within the Aircraft Industries ...

9. 2.5D (machining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D_(machining)

   Drilling and tapping operations are also possible on a 2.5-axis mill. 2.5D objects can be machined on a 3-axis milling machine, and do not require any of the features of a higher-axis machine to produce. CNC machines use G-code and M-code in order to control the machine and the positioning of the spindle.
