  Computer numerical control (CNC) technology has revolutionized the world of manufacturing and machine tools. With the help of CAD/CAM software, it can translate complex geometries and shapeless workpieces into parts and components with astonishing speed and high precision. Although the machines come in several varieties, including CNC lathes, CNC routers, and 3D printing machines,
