Overview of the CNC Manufacturing Process

The goal of CNC manufacturing is to take CAD files created by the CAD subteam and use them to machine parts that can be used by the build subteam for robot assembly. This requires a good understanding of how to use a CNC machine, as well as an emphasis on safety to avoid damaged parts and injury.
