00:00 Introduction. What you'll learn from this video.

0:47 First, you’ll learn what CNC machining is and how CNC machines operate.

1:03 Second, we’ll show you the basic process of CNC machining in 3 steps. Designing a CAD model, turning that CAD file into G-code, programming the CNC machine with the G-code and finally allowing the system to execute all machining operations.

1:30 Next, you will learn why CNC machining is a price-competitive manufacturing technology for one-off custom parts and medium-volume production.

1:55 Then, we’ll show you why CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing technology and what that means. The difference between CNC machining and other manufacturing technologies will also be explained.

2:52 Next, we’ll talk about some of the materials that can be CNC machined.

3:09 Finally, you’ll learn that with CNC machining you can create highly accurate parts with very tight tolerances.
