carverr – 5-Axis CNC Machining

5-Axis CNC Machining represents one of the most advanced and versatile forms of computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing available today. Unlike traditional 3-axis machining, which only allows movement along the X, Y, and Z linear axes, 5-axis CNC adds two rotational movements (around the X-axis and Y-axis) enabling the cutting tool to approach a part from virtually any angle. This capability dramatically expands the complexity of parts that can be produced, eliminates many intermediate setups, and accelerates production with improved accuracy and surface finish.
