I am not sure what is the right group for this question.

Can any one tell me how much of the process of going from a CAD 3-D model to
manufacturing the model is automated and how much is still dependant
on operator/programmer of a milling machine or an NC machine?

specifically, the paths that a manufacturing machine follows, are they
dereived automatically from the CAD or the NC programmer does that part?

any hints or sources to look this up is appreciated.

Please e-mail responces.
