Computer numerical control (CNC) is a computer "controller" that reads G-code and M-code commands and drives a machine tool, a powered mechanical device typically used to fabricate components by the selective removal of material. CNC numerically interpolates the points along a cutting tool's toolpath and directs the servomechanisms that translate the data into movement. The operating parameters of the CNC can be altered via the Master Control Unit (MCU) of the machine.
