2. 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]

3. 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 ...

4. 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.

5. List of metalworking occupations - Wikipedia

   CNC programmer is the person who takes the drawings made by engineers and draftsperson and creates a CNC program to cut the part; 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 ...

6. 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 ...

7. PowerMILL - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerMILL

   PowerMILL 3+2 Machining where a 3 axis milling program is executed with the cutting tool locked in a tilted position PowerMILL 4&5 axis machining for 4 and 5 axis machines PowerMILL Rotary Axis for machines using a rotary axis PowerMILL Training Seat/IGES Viewer. PowerMILL Port Machining for the machining of tubular apertures

8. APT (programming language) - Wikipedia

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

   APT is used to program numerically-controlled machine tools to create complex parts using a cutting tool moving in space. It is used to calculate a path that a tool must follow to generate a desired form. APT is a special-purpose language and the predecessor to modern computer aided manufacturing (CAM) systems. It was created and refined during ...
