optimizes nesting to erase scrap metal
You translate 3D CAD models into toolpaths for CNC machines. You define speeds, feeds, and coolant cycles.
The one thing AI can't do
You know exactly which vibration sounds indicate the spindle bearing is dying, not the code.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.

Smart vision models catch your toolpath errors before they hit metal.
Month 4
Algorithms generate the most efficient cutting strategies directly from CAD.
Month 8
Code bypasses your manual edits and flows straight to the controller.
Month 13
Sensors adjust feeds in real time without human instruction.
Month 18 · D-Day
Your terminal is disconnected; the machine now programs its own path.
