About 5th Axis Capabilities
The introduction of the A and B axis enables the cutting tool to approach the workpiece from multiple angles, facilitating the machining of complex shapes and contours that would be challenging or impossible with traditional 3-axis milling. This capability is particularly valuable in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical manufacturing, where intricate and precise components are often required.
5th-axis milling machines are equipped with a rotary table or other mechanisms that enable the simultaneous movement along all five axis, providing a high degree of flexibility in manufacturing complex parts with a single setup.

CNC Milling
Involves removing material from a workpiece using rotary cutters to create complex shapes and features. Learn More CNC Turning
CNC Turning is a manufacturing process in which bars of material are held in a chuck and rotated while a tool is fed to the piece to remove material to create the desired shape. CNC lathes or turning centers have tooling mounted on a turret which is computer-controlled. Learn More Design for Manufacturing
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is a set of principles and practices aimed at optimizing the design of a product to enhance its manufacturability and efficiency in the production process. The goal of DFM is to create a product design that is not only functional and meets the intended purpose but also takes into consideration the ease of manufacturing, assembly, and overall production cost.
