What is G & M codes?

G-code and M-code are programming languages used to control automated machine tools. G-code commands control machine movements, such as moving to a specific location or executing a certain toolpath. M-code commands control miscellaneous machine functions, such as starting or stopping the spindle, turning coolant on or off, or changing tools. These codes are essential for computer numerical control (CNC) machining, 3D printing, and other automated manufacturing processes, enabling precise and repeatable part production.
