Pretty much what a modern CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine does today. The operator provides alphanumeric input to describe the part and the machine will grind them out until stopped. The chief difference is that a CNC machine has to be provided with "blanks" either metal, polymer. etc. so it does not create the part from whole cloth so to speak.
