What software are commonly used in CNC programming?

CMM Inspection Car Part

The CNC machining center can process various complex workpieces by executing the processing program. There are two sources for processing programs: manual programming and programming software. For simple processing tasks, such as milling straight grooves, steps, drilling, etc., it can be completed by manual programming, which is simple, direct and efficient; but for complex three-dimensional…
