What is CNC
Computer numerical control (CNC) is the
process of manufacturing machined parts.
Production is controlled and allocated by a
computerized controller.
A programmed path is loaded into the machine's
computer by the operator and then executed.
Numerical control (NC) is the original term given
to this technology and is still often used
interchangeably with CNC.

1-Part program
The part program
is the set of commands to

followed
by
the
processing equipment.
It is the program of
instructions in the NC
control system.
Each command specifies a
position or motion that is to
be accomplished by the
work head relative to the
workpart.

The part program is

prepared by a part
programmer, a person
who is familiar with the
