Abstract This paper explains laboratory module number 3. It explores the coding, usage and set up of a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machine. The purpose of this experiment was to be able to code and set up the CNC to create a graphical cutting view of the piece P-34 and Tension Specimen. The methodology that was used during this experiment was to understand the orthographic view of the piece and setting up a code that the machine would follow to create the final piece. The tools used during this experiment are as follow: Haas Mini Mill, vise, parallels, caliper, cutting tools, USB flash drive and the material used was: Aluminum alloy. In conclusion, after learning how to understand the orthographic views of the piece P-34 and Tension Specimen we were able to come up with a code that would work with the CNC machine to create the final pieces keeping on mind the resistance thickness of the material.
Introduction Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a modern concept in manufacturing and production industries. CNC is the automation of tools through commands entered manually (CNC). Compared to tools of the past that were controlled manually, CNC allows for both better precision and consistency of tool motion which means they can be used for a range of projects and purposes. This experiment consists of two parts. First, we familiarized ourselves with the automated method of controlling the motions and functions of CNC cutting machines by programming codes and designing a sequence of operations. Second, we created our own code and measured the minutes that would take for each operation to be done.

In conclusion, by using the knowledge gained of the motions and functions of CNC cutting machines and programming codes we were able to visualize the tool path of the machine, and ran a code on a CNC simulator to conclude that CNC machines are indeed more accurate and have better quality than old fashioned manual tools.
