Gcode

G-code is a programming language used to control CNC machines, including 3D printers and milling tools. It contains specific commands that tell the machine how to move, where to cut or print, and what operations to perform. Think of it as a set of precise instructions written in a standardized format that guides the machine's actions step-by-step. These instructions include details like position, speed, and tool changes, allowing the machine to produce complex parts with accuracy and consistency. G-code enables automation and precision in manufacturing processes.
