Many hand-controlled tools can be automated--the table on a milling 
machine is typically moved by two wheels or cranks--one way to to 
automate it is to set up a stepper to drive those, which gives you a 
two-axis machine.  You usually won't see more than two axes being worked 
simultaneously by hand and doing two simultaneously takes a good bit of 
skill, kind of like drawing curves on an etch-a-sketch.

The simpler 1-3 axis tools are run by hand at the low end
but also automated extensively too with 3-5 axis tools.

There aren't just those two alternatives, CNC machines
are in fact an intermediate approach where the machine is
driven by a set of instructions that are normally prepared
by a computer and transferred to the machine using some
media like paper tape in the old days.

And you now have 3D printers as well, currently not quite
in the same class as the biggest n-axis machines, although
a few are using 3D printers to build stuff as big as houses
etc. You don’t see them used to build the biggest bridges
and skyscrapers tho, those are still assembled using parts
made in various ways. And the highest volume production
of stuff like car parts isnt normally done with 3D printers.

  Note that this is known as subtractive manufacturing (start with a
large hunk of material and subtract the parts you don't want).

  It's gradually being replaced with additive manufacturing (start with
nothing and add the elements you want).   Also known as 3-D printing.  Uses
less raw material, produces less waste, is faster and requires less final
finishing and is capable of producing hollow parts, something that most
milling machines have difficulties with.

Ah!  More detail.  thanks.  Can 3D printer do metals?  I had assume they

	The cheap hobby ones that you can easily buy only do plastics and at
that only plastics which can be easily extruded. There is a lot of variety
a the high end, some only do metals (laser sintered powder is one
approach, electro-depposition is another), some can do multiple materials.
There is a huge gulf between the toys commonly associated with the term and
the production and rapid prototyping 3D printers used in industry.

ISTR this has been discussed before, but in short: Yes, there are 3D 
printers that can print metals. Those are usually of the "sintering" 
type. A good explanation is for instance this:

  https://i.materialise.com/materials/steel

Another option is to first 3D-print a wax mold, and then use that as the 
basis for casting the metal into the desired shape. 

People are also experimenting with 3D printing glass:

Yes.  But not metals and the 3D topic is a side bar to the original
query.

They can do metals in several different ways. Ion deposits, vapor/plastma
beams, and others. They can do concrete, and even live tissue. The very 
latest is to use stem cells with programming. They you can literally
print new body parts. Surgically applied for skin and blood vessels
already.

Some can be surprisingly fancy and 3D
printing is the obvious way to do them.

Not just icing on cakes either.

NASA has been expermenting with 3D printing food such as cookies etc.
to proved astronauts with a bit of variety.

My daughter's school has one. They've used it to print fancy cake toppers for school functions,
I don't know what else though.

	The idea is that you grow cells (pick your meat) in a bioreactor,
decant them into a print head and print them onto a substrate to produce
artificial steaks and suchlike which have never been cut from an animal.
There are many fiddly details but that's the essence of it.

	There was an occasion a couple of years back where the speaker (CEO
and/or owner of one of the companies making bioprinting equipment) cooked
and ate a printed pork steak while giving his talk and announcing a spinoff
company to commercialise the process (making that steak had been expensive
lab work).

	Now contemplate Arthur Clarke's "Food of the Gods".

Over 10 years ago I bought some 3D printed "mathematical art", I 
understand they're made from layers of powdered steel that's sintered by 
laser, then the resulting form is soaked in bronze and polished by hand.

I'd forgotten about laser.  I was thinking of metals like I saw
when my grade school class spent a day at Ford Motors.

There has been a fair amount of progress in the last fifty years.

You'd likely not recognize a modern automobile manufacturing facility.

I don't think they roll their own metal sheets anymore...right?
It's really too bad that companies can't show their methods to
school kids.

They do, in docos like Ultimate Factories and Megafactories,
and show you a hell of a lot more, and a hell of a lot better
than any visit by a group of school kids can ever do.
