CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Machining is a machining technique where rather than manually controlling where your machine cuts, drills, and carves, you give your machine a list of programmed instructions for where and how to cut. The machine then follows these instructions automatically with precision
CNC machining is valuable in FRC for two main reasons: it provides greater precision than hand tools, and it allows us to focus on other tasks while the machine produces parts automatically. This allows us to make high-quality and complex parts quickly, so we can spend our time and brain power on designing, assembly, and testing.
