G-code, also known as geometric code or RS-274, is the most prevalent programming language for computer numerical control (CNC) machines used in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). G-code commands provide what-, which- and how-type instructions to the machine, s...
When in doubt, always refer to the documentation of your CNC machine.Here is an example of a G-code file that will cut a rectangle. % G20 G00 Z0.5 G00 X0 Y0 G01 Z-1 F50 G01 X0 Y20 F50 G01 Y20 X30 G01 X30 Y0 G01 X0 Y0 G00 Z0.5 F70 M30 % ...
For example, say a CNC machine code begins with a linear rapid move at X1 Y1 (G00 X1 Y1). If the next function is another linear rapid move, it is not necessary to write G00 again. All that is needed on the next line of CNC machine code is the new position (say, X2 Y2) beca...
CNC Waterjet cutting is an innovative process that uses the force of high-pressure water to remove material. The water pump pressurizes the water to a range of 30,000 to 90,000 psi (even higher in some cases). The pressure is enough to pierce metals, wood, glass, alloys, and everythin...
On-die ECC is an important feature of DDR5. It provides additional protection by correcting bit errors within the DRAM chip before sending data to the central processing unit (CPU). What is On-Die ECC? Is It the Same as Traditional ECC? Error Correction Code (ECC) is one of most common...

G-code, also known as geometric code, controls the machine’s motion. For example, it might direct the machine to move in a line or an arc. A G-code command is usually written in an alphanumeric format, starting with “G” and followed by a two-digit number (for example, G00). ...

Now that we know how G-code works, let's look at some examples. One of the most common G-code commands isMove, represented byG00, which tells the machine to move to a specific coordinate (without cutting). For example, the following code would tell the machine to move up by five mil...
