2. Plasma cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cutting

   As with other machine tools, CNC (computer numerical control) technology was applied to plasma cutting machines in the late 1980s into the 1990s, giving plasma cutting machines greater flexibility to cut diverse shapes "on demand" based on a set of instructions that were programmed into the machine's numerical control.

3. Numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

   A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. 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. [2]

5. Metalworking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalworking

   When driven tools are used the work piece stops rotating and the driven tool executes the machining operation with a rotating cutting tool. The CNC machines use x, y, and z coordinates in order to control the turning tools and produce the product. Most modern day CNC lathes are able to produce most turned objects in 3D.

6. Laser cutting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_cutting

   Laser cutting for metals has the advantage over plasma cutting of being more precise [11] and using less energy when cutting sheet metal; however, most industrial lasers cannot cut through the greater metal thickness that plasma can. Newer laser machines operating at higher power (6000 watts, as contrasted with early laser cutting machines ...

7. Electrical discharge machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining

   A wire-cut EDM machine using the CNC drawing plotter and optical line follower techniques was produced in 1974. Dulebohn later used the same plotter CNC program to directly control the EDM machine, and the first CNC EDM machine was produced in 1976. [10] Commercial wire EDM capability and use has advanced substantially during recent decades. [11]
