I suspect you model what you want in 3D modelling CAD / CAM software first. The output of that is then raw code (G-code?) for a CNC devices. I'd be surprised if the code was human readable.
Kinda looks like this, apparently
O1000 T1 M6 (Linear / Feed - Absolute) G0 G90 G40 G21 G17 G94 G80 G54 X-75 Y-75 S500 M3 (Position 6) G43 Z100 H1 Z5 G1 Z-20 F100 X-40 (Position 1) Y40 M8 (Position 2) X40 (Position 3) Y-40 (Position 4) X-75 (Position 5) Y-75 (Position 6) G0 Z100 M30

i'm wondering how transferable the operations are - lets say there's a CNC design that produces something that I want.
What format would these come in - plain text? Or are they too complex to be useful in plaintext. Or is it a proprietary format?
Assuming I got a hold of a particular set of operations - could I hand this over to somebody (with CNC experience) and have them make me the same thing?
