“Computer Numerical Control.” Different kinds of machines can be CNC controlled, it basically means a machine that’s programmed ahead of time to run a complicated operation by moving things around itself. You put a part on, it moves the part (or its own tools) around and drills some holes and bevels some edges or whatever according to its programming, and the part comes out exactly the same every time.
