The Brief

What CloudNC does

CloudNC develops AI-powered software for computer-numerical-control (CNC) machining.

The company is also building Quote Agent, due in late 2026, which will apply AI to assess new jobs and prepare manufacturing quotes. CloudNC says it works with more than 1,000 machine shops globally. The company was founded in London in 2015.
