[[:Numerical control]] → {{no redirect|Computer numerical control}} – The most common usage for this technology is CNC. Even this articles uses that abbreviation. What does CNC stand for? Computer numerical control. So that should be the title of the article. [[User:Isaac Rabinovitch|Isaac Rabinovitch]] ([[User talk:Isaac Rabinovitch|talk]]) 16:49, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
*'''Two comments''': 1) Both terms seem to be used (e.g., per [https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/numerical-control this]), and Wikipedia prefers concise titles. 2) I thought "numerical control" was simply an alternative term for using [[numerical analysis]] in a [[control system]] of any sort, not just something to do with [[machining]] or 3D printing. [[Control theory]] is applied much more broadly than for machining, and numerical methods are commonly applied in control systems, e.g., using [[Sampling (signal processing)|sampling]], [[A/D conversion]] and [[digital signal processing]]. — [[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 21:46, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' - Back when computers had tape drives, you wouldn't think of using a computer to control a machine tool - NC tools had dedicated random logic that was much simpler than a programmable computer. --[[User:Wtshymanski|Wtshymanski]] ([[User talk:Wtshymanski|talk]]) 01:55, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
