It is a computerized manufacturing process in which pre-programmed software and code controls the movement of production equipment. CNC machining controls a range of complex machinery, such as grinders, lathes, and turning mills, all of which are used to cut, shape, and create different parts and prototypes.

A CNC machine is a machining system that is managed by a computer. They enable manufacturers to automate many manufacturing operations that would otherwise have to be done manually. As a result, CNC-powered machines increase productivity, decrease waste, and even eliminate the risk of human error.

NC turning is essentially the opposite to CNC milling, as instead of the cutting tools moving to cut material away, the material itself is rotated as it is cut. CNC lathe machines feature a lathe in the center that manipulates and moves the material into the position as programmed on the computer
