The CNC file extension is used by PartMaster, a computerized numerical control (CNC) machine programming software. CNC machines are computer-controlled machines that are used to shape and cut metal and other materials, allowing for a variety of fabrication projects. CNC files are encoded data files that contain the instructions for the machine to follow during its operation.
The CNC file format is very specific to the particular PartMaster application and typically contains the code instructions written in either G-code or M-code. This code dictates the movements of one or more axes, as well as the details of the machine's feed rate and spindle speed. It also contains comments, pre-defined variables, parameters, and other necessary elements.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CNC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CNC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CNC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CNC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CNC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CNC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CNC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CNC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CNC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CNC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
