CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Programming is the process of creating instructions that control machines used in manufacturing. These machines — such as milling, turning, and drilling machines — use coded commands instead of manual operation to produce accurate and complex parts.
In CNC programming, the programmer writes a set of codes (commonly called G-codes and M-codes) that tell the machine how to move, cut, and shape the material. This automation improves accuracy, reduces human error, and increases production efficiency.
CNC programming is widely used in industries like automotive, aerospace, mechanical, and tool manufacturing, where precision and consistency are most important. Learning CNC programming helps students understand the connection between design and production, preparing them for modern industrial careers.
At VTech, students gain hands-on training on advanced CNC machines and learn real-world programming skills that make them industry-ready.
