CNC machine or conventional machine?

Machining centers, cnc milling plotters, conventional milling machines.... From the number of options to choose from, sometimes it can make your head hurt.
.
We try to quickly dispel basic doubts.

Numerically controlled machines (CNC) are fully controlled by computer systems. Unlike conventional machines where individual movements are entered manually through various buttons, levers and cranks. This gives us a great advantage by allowing us to plan the entire process in advance and run it at the touch of a button. CNC machines are also much more efficient and offer greater machining precision.

Ok, but then what is the difference between a machining center and a milling plotter?
.
Similar to milling plotters, machining centers also perform machining. Centers, on the other hand, typically offer greater accuracy when machining hard materials, such as steel.
Additionally, unlike most CNC milling machines, machining centers have a fully enclosed workspace to protect the operator and surrounding area from chips and coolant.
.
In a nutshell: machining centers are more likely to be encountered in batch metalworking, milling plotters are more popular in woodworking, wood-based materials and plastics.
