CNC computerized numerical control
Computer numerical control (CNC) is a type of machining that uses data and programs to perform cutting, drilling and milling operations. CNC technology has been very important in the manufacturing industry since its introduction. In the past, machinists had to manually program machines to complete a task. This is time-consuming and prone to human error.

What is the i2c standard
I2C, which stands for “Inter-Integrated Circuit”, is a serial bus interface. It was developed as an alternative to other communication buses such as SPI and UART serial ports. The I2C standard was created by Philips Semiconductor in 1982, but is now managed by the I2C Trade Association (www.i2c-ta.org). This article explains what I2C is and if IoT systems can use it.

Materials for 3d printing FDM
3D printing is a process that allows manufacturers to create various types of objects with the most diverse materials. This allows them to determine the exact shape and characteristics of their finished product. Compared to traditional prototyping methods, 3D printing can be done with minimal steps. Before a 3D printed product can be made, an STL image of the design is first sent to the manufacturer. This allows a computer to view the design from various angles and perspectives. But which material is best to use for our prototypes?

What is the extruder?
The extruder is the part of a 3D printer responsible for pushing and liquefying the filament to form each layer. Some printers have one, others two or three! The extruder can be built in aluminum, steel or other metal alloys, depending on the needs. It is typically part of the hot end assembly, which also includes a nozzle orifice. The extruder works by pulling the filament through a heated nozzle at a specific speed, so that it melts and then pushes a thin layer of material onto the platform.
