Every industry has its own shorthand terms. Those involved use them all the time, occasionally forgetting that some can appear almost like a foreign language to people who make use of their services.

One such term is CNC; so, here’s a quick explanation. It stands for Computer Numerical Control; a process of converting CAD designs into a series of numbers. These are much like the co-ordinates you’d find on a map or graph; a superb method of controlling and monitoring the movement of precision cutters. This allows processes such as milling or grinding to be automated.
