A CNC Operator is a skilled worker who uses a CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control machine) to create precise parts and products. These machines are programmed to cut, shape, and finish materials like metal, wood, or plastic. The operator ensures that the machine runs smoothly and checks the quality of the finished items to meet specific standards. To become a CNC Operator, one typically needs training in machining and an understanding of blueprints and technical drawings. Attention to detail and problem-solving skills are essential, as operators must troubleshoot any issues that arise during the manufacturing process.
