What is G-code?

G-code is a numerical control (NC) programming language. It is used mainly in computer-aided manufacturing to control automated machine tools. G-code instructions tell the machine where to move, how fast to move, and what path to follow. It's commonly used in 3D printing, CNC milling, and CNC turning.
