The work that follows demonstrates an investigation of CNC milling techniques and their potential ability to receive real time feedback through the use of sensors. Through study of multiple agents the key variables of rotation, range of vision, and attraction to trail were identified as essential and they facilitated two modes of investigation: the development of path based simulations and the development of simulations conductive to topography. The use of one single agent is closely related to the need of connecting the agent directly with the drill bit of the CNC machine. Through introduction of sensor feedback (a photosensor was chosen for the following investigations), the influence of agent behavior began either subside or override sensor values. Ultimately, the goal lies somewhere within this fine tuning.
