2. Multiaxis machining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiaxis_machining

   CAM software automates the process of converting 3D models into tool paths, the route the multiaxis machine takes to mill a part (Fig. 1). This software takes into account the different parameters of the tool head (in the case of a CNC router, this would be the bit size), dimensions of the blank, and any constraints the machine may have.

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]

4. Metal lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_lathe

   A view inside the enclosure of a CNC Swiss-style lathe/screw machine. A Swiss-style lathe is a specific design of lathe providing extreme accuracy (sometimes holding tolerances as small as a few tenths of a thousandth of an inch—a few micrometers). A Swiss-style lathe holds the workpiece with both a collet and a guide bushing. The collet sits ...

5. G-code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code

   Some CNC machines use "conversational" programming, which is a wizard-like programming mode that either hides G-code or completely bypasses the use of G-code. Some popular examples are Okuma's Advanced One Touch (AOT), Southwestern Industries' ProtoTRAK, Mazak's Mazatrol, Hurco's Ultimax and Winmax, Haas' Intuitive Programming System (IPS), and ...

6. Fab Lab MSI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_Lab_MSI

   Fab Lab MSI (Fabrication Laboratory at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois) is a small scale workshop that uses various machines to create both prototypes for individuals and small projects for museum members and visitors. The idea behind the Fab Lab is to be able to learn how to use various machines to build "almost anything".

7. Automatic lathe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lathe

   All CNC machine tools are automatic, but the usage in the machining industries does not routinely call them by that term. The term "automatic", when it is used at all, still often refers implicitly to cam-operated machines. Thus a 2-axis CNC lathe is not referred to as an "automatic lathe" even if fully automated.

8. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

   Laser marking on stainless steel A laser engraving machine A laser engraver. A laser engraving machine consists of three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. [2] The laser is a drawing tool: the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface.

9. Diamond turning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_turning

   Diamond flycutting. Diamond turning is turning using a cutting tool with a diamond tip. It is a process of mechanical machining of precision elements using lathes or derivative machine tools (e.g., turn-mills, rotary transfers) equipped with natural or synthetic diamond-tipped tool bits.
