:{{ping|BrandonL21}} Hello.
:The edit was a [[WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE]] of the source, which makes it a [[WP:COPYVIO|copyright violation]]. Further, it included overly [[WP:PEACOCK|promotional wording]] and an [[WP:TONE|informal tone]] such as saying one company "encompasses a broad range of machines" and saying another was "a leader". This is inappropriate for multiple reasons. Wikipedia [[WP:SOAP|is not a platform for promotion]]. Additionally, Wikipedia [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY|is not a directory]]. The inclusion of specific companies is not appropriate without reliable, independent sources. The use of this promotional language means that this source is not neutral, and not presumed reliable. The value of this information is demonstrated by [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. See [[WP:IS]], also. Thanks. [[User:Grayfell|Grayfell]] ([[User talk:Grayfell|talk]]) 02:40, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
== Are 3D printers CNC machines or not? ==
The article defines CNC as "[...] the automated control of machining tools [...] by means of a computer", but it also lists 3D printers as an example of a CNC machine. Machining refers to subtractive manufacturing, while 3D printers use additive manufacturing. Should the definition of CNC as exclusively referring to subtractive manufacturing be revised, or should 3D printers be excluded? If 3D printers are to be included, what else counts as a CNC machine? Are inkjet printers CNC machines? --[[User:AwaweWiki|AwaweWiki]] ([[User talk:AwaweWiki|talk]]) 16:29, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
