What Guides the CNC Router Manufacturing Process
Some CNC units require the operator to learn a series of commands that allow him to write programs for various objects that the unit will be called upon to make. Programs such as AutoCAM generate CNC instructions, provided the user loads a pattern into the AutoCAM program. Most operators will need to know a set of 50 commands to enter new patterns into the device. These patterns are translated into machine motions by the unit's CPU.
Newer CNC units allow the operator to perform test runs to check for any problems before the materials are placed into the router. After any problems have been corrected, the material, whether it be wood, stone, or something else, may be placed into the machine.
