Earlier than "FORTRAN" and "Graphical Interfaces", the "APT" Programming Language was created to provide instructions for the machine
"G Code" and "M Code" are two major components used to coordinate these 3D machine movements
This code was stored on Punched Tape

You'll then run a "Post Processor" to convert that neutral code from your CAM software, to the specific machine you have on hand
This allows for specific codes (as they vary by machine) to be added, as well as allows for tool path simulation

In the 1940s, MIT & USAF backed inventor John Parsons to create "CNC" or "Computer Numerical Control"
Using Numerical Control, machine movements could be programmed and automated
This precision and speed allowed for unparalleled scale, revolutionizing manufacturing forever

Machining is the process of cutting a stock of material to create a "final shape"
Machining has allowed humanity to shape the atoms around us into the modern world
Manual machining allowed for steamboats, automobiles and aeroplanes

These "Geometry" and "Motion" codes are still today the foundation of near all automated machinery
CNC Machines vary in complexity depending on the need of the finished part
Common examples include 3 and 5 axis machines

As you read this example NC Program, you'll begin to recognize a few simple commands
You'll also notice (M) "Motion Codes"
In the below code, the programmer asks the machine to (M6) grab a new cutter (T1) and (M3) spin it clockwise at (S) 5000 RPM

American Manufacturing is misunderstood.
Vital to our Country? or Low Level Labor hated by society?
Reshoring or Offshoring? Declining or Booming?
No matter - it is one of America’s most powerful industries

Other G Codes allow for additional controls
G01 = "Linear Interpolation" (move to point), but allows for control of the "Feed Rate" or how fast the material is fed through the machine
Let's set a (F) "Feed Rate" of 200 inches per minute:
G01 X5 Y12 F200

Geometry codes simplify the math required to move the machine through points
G00 = "Rapid Positioning" (move to point), where the purpose is to reposition the machine as quickly as possible to an end point
A rapid positioning movement would look like:

By creating a CAD file of your block of material (stock), and then placing your finished design on the inside (net part)
You can create tool paths that compute basic G & M codes that can be refined until you get a smooth operation

As well as more advanced tech such as Resin Transfer Molding, Tape Laying or Fiber Placement.

Each method has its pros and cons, depending on the application, budget, and required material properties.

We know how difficult that is, because our team lived it.
Poor resources. Confusion. Anxiety. Lack of support. Overlooked and Underserved.
We asked ourselves -
Could there be a better way?

To understand how G & M Codes work, let's visualize a machine command
On this 3 axis (XYZ) machine, let's move the machine between two points in 3D Space, for example, we want to move the cutter "down by 10 units"
We would go from point A "X0 Y0 Z0"
To point B "X0 Y0 Z-10"

We deep dived this question and here’s what we’ve discovered, keep in mind we are centric to Aerospace & Defense at the moment -
Switching from Matrix Laboratory (subsequent, Simulink) to Python in Aerospace & Defense appears to have a few disadvantages for the enterprise.

There are many benefits to the use of Carbon Fiber as a material:
5x Stronger than Aluminum, ~2x Stiffer and 1.5x Lighter and 5x Lighter than Steel.
It offers
- High Strength to Weight
- High Rigidity
- Corrosion Resistance
- Thermal Stability
- Fatigue Resistance

AFP & ATL have a place, but they introduce a great deal of complexities that need to be focused on.
HLU, RTM & Filament Winding can cover a great deal of part geometries and at rate.
Good for a well rounded engineer to have an understanding of all the tools!
