Course: Precision Machining Technology II (13204-II) > Section: Performing Machining Jobs

Writing programs should include

- importing and exporting files
- following file naming conventions
- determining digital storage method (i.e., local, network, or cloud)
- using copy and paste functions
- proofing the program.

CNC and wire-EDM programs should be written with attention to speeds and feeds and should enable the end user to drive an endmill or cutting tool through a continuous path.

Process/Skill Questions

- How are the different medias used to program?
- How many axes are programmable on each machine?
- What is the difference between a G-code and an M-code program?
