CNC routing, or Computer Numerical Control routing, is a manufacturing process where a computer controls the movement of a cutting tool to shape materials such as wood, metal, or plastic. The CNC router follows programmed instructions to cut, carve, or engrave complex shapes and patterns with high precision and repeatability. This technology is widely used in industries like woodworking, metalworking, and sign-making, enabling efficient production of parts and prototypes. In cybersecurity contexts, CNC routing may refer to the secure management of the digital files and networked machines involved in the process to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.
