Pushing the Boundaries of Precision
5-axis machining represents a leap forward from conventional methods, offering solutions for parts once considered impossible to make. Understand our expert approach and discover how this advanced technology provides superior accuracy, a flawless finish, and unparalleled design freedom for your project.
Our Approach to 5-Axis Machining
Beyond the standard 3 axes, 5-axis simultaneous machining allows the cutting tool to move across five axes concurrently.
This enables the creation of highly complex shapes, deep undercuts, and organic contours that are impossible with conventional methods.
-
Unmatched Part Complexity Machine virtually any geometry, including complex curves and multi-faceted surfaces.
-
Higher Accuracy & Consistency Completing a part in a single setup eliminates errors associated with re-fixturing, ensuring exceptional accuracy.
-
Superior Surface Finishes The tool can always maintain an optimal angle to the part surface, resulting in a smoother, higher-quality finish.
The Advantages of a 5-Axis Machining Strategy
Investing in a 5-axis machining strategy can deliver significant returns for your project. By enabling more complex designs and reducing setups, this advanced technology offers key advantages in lead time, design freedom, and overall cost-effectiveness for intricate parts.

5-Axis Machining FAQ
To help you understand the unique capabilities and considerations of this advanced technology, we’ve answered some common questions about our 5-axis CNC machining services.
3+2 positions the part at an angle, then mills like a 3-axis machine. Simultaneous 5-axis, which we specialize in, moves all axes at once to create truly complex, contoured parts with superior finishes.
Not for complex parts. While the machine's hourly rate is higher, 5-axis is often more cost-effective overall because its single-setup process eliminates the time, cost, and errors of multiple setups.
It's ideal for parts with complex, multi-sided geometries and 3D-contoured surfaces, such as aerospace impellers, turbine blades, and medical implants where accuracy and finish are critical.
No. Our 5-axis machines can process nearly any machinable material, including various grades of aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and high-performance plastics like PEEK.
While initial programming is more complex, the actual machining is much faster. This single-setup approach often results in a shorter overall lead time for complex components.
For the fastest quote, please provide a 3D CAD model (STEP/IGS format is best) and a 2D drawing that specifies all critical tolerances and surface finish requirements.
