[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control '''Computer Numerical Control (CNC)'''] describes the process by which '''[[:Category:Machine Tools|Machine Tools]]''' are operated automatically by a computers linked to them. The computer output is interpreted as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code '''G-Code Commands'''] and these instruct the '''[[:Category:Machine Tools|Machine Tool]]''' which processes, with which tools and in what sequence it needs to operate to make the part.<br />
<br />
<br />
Computers and '''[[:Category:Machine Tools|Machine Tools]]''' linked in this way combine to become known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing '''Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)''']. Often the computer output is generated automatically from a '''[[CAD|Computer Aided Design (CAD)]]''' to create a '''CADCAM''' operation which in turn may be part of a wider [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_engineering '''Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)'''] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-integrated_manufacturing '''Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)'''] enterprise and has led to the emergence of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_engineering '''Concurrent Engineering'''] practices.<br />
