Complex geometry. Fewer compromises.
Five-axis motion lets the tool approach a part from more directions in one setup. That reduces datum-transfer error, improves access to deep or angled features and creates smoother transitions on contoured surfaces.
- 01Compound angles and undercut access
- 01Impellers, housings, manifolds and optical mounts
- 01Reduced fixture count and setup variation
- 01Shorter tools for improved rigidity and finish
Use 5-axis where it creates measurable value.
Not every part benefits from simultaneous motion. Our engineers compare 3-axis, indexed 3+2 and full 5-axis strategies against tolerance, fixture complexity, tool access, surface continuity and total cost.
- 023+2 machining for multiple planar features
- 02Simultaneous cutting for organic or continuously changing surfaces
- 02Hybrid process planning for cost-sensitive production
- 02Machine simulation and collision-aware toolpaths

Is 5-axis machining always more expensive?+
The hourly rate is higher, but total part cost can be lower when one setup replaces multiple fixtures, inspections and handling steps.
Which file format should I send?+
Send a STEP or Parasolid model and a dimensioned drawing. Native CAD is useful when complex surfaces or assemblies require deeper review.
