2. List of metalworking occupations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metalworking...

   CNC setup hand, the person who sets up the machine and its tooling before the operator takes over; CNC operator: the person who feeds stock to the machine, changes cutting inserts, checks quality, cleans and lubricates the machine, etc. Tool and die maker and related machining occupations: Moldmaker; Patternmaker; Modelmaker

3. Machinist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinist

   Programmers are usually machinist as well. A CNC programmer creates programs using software called CAM (computer aided manufacturing). The programmer must be proficient in math, speeds and feeds, machine tooling, work holding, and the different ways various materials react to stress and heat in the machining process.

4. 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. Computer-aided manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing

   [13] [14] As CAM software and machines become more complicated, the skills required of a machinist or machine operator advance to approach that of a computer programmer and engineer rather than eliminating the CNC machinist from the workforce. Typical areas of concern. High-Speed Machining, including streamlining of tool paths; Multi-function ...

6. APT (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

   APT (Automatically Programmed Tool) [1] is a high-level computer programming language most commonly used to generate instructions for numerically controlled machine tools. Douglas T. Ross [ 2 ] is considered by many to be the father of APT: as head of the newly created Computer Applications Group of the Servomechanisms Laboratory at MIT in 1956 ...

7. History of numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_numerical_control

   CNC automation also allows for more flexibility in the way parts are held in the manufacturing process and the time required changing the machine to produce different components. Additionally, as CNC operators become more in demand, automation becomes a more viable choice than labor. [citation needed]

8. G-code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code

   Developed at MIT, BCL was developed to control CNC machines in terms of straight lines and arcs. [9] 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 ...

9. Direct numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_numerical_control

   Direct numerical control (DNC), also known as distributed numerical control (also DNC), is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools.On some CNC machine controllers, the available memory is too small to contain the machining program (for example machining complex surfaces), so in this case the program is stored in a separate computer and sent directly to the machine, one ...
