CNC routers, 3-D printers, metrology machines, laser and plasma cutters, and pick and place machines are common examples. CNC router: Routers cut wood, plastic and sheet metal on an X, Y and Z axis and are primarily used for manufacturing larger scale products.

CNC machines are computer‑controlled tools that cut, shape, or finish materials — such as metal, plastic, or composites — according to precise, programmed instructions. Common types include turning centers (for cylindrical parts), milling centers (for complex shapes and surfaces), mill‑turn machines (which combine turning and milling in one setup), and CNC grinders (for high‑precision finishing).
