CNC
/ˌsiː-en-siː/
n. “The automated control of machine tools using computer-generated instructions.”

n. “Type it, execute it, watch it happen.”
The CLI, or Command-Line Interface, is a text-based interface used to interact with a computer or software by typing commands rather than using graphical elements like buttons or menus.
