First the CNC, is defined in wikipedia as computer numerical controlled (CNC)
see page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control
Next you simply attach a laser to the point of cutting,
This process allow's for extreamly accurate cutting of many materials, from wood, foam, concrete, metal and others. Because the laser is such a focused point and force, it will cut almost anything, but the key to accuracy of the cut is in the machine controled numerically by the computer so that you can get very small and precise distances cut with your machine. The precision of the control and the focus of the laser beam alow cut's in material that would not be possible any other way. So you can get precise alignment in matching parts.
Hope this helps.
