Capability — 5-Axis

Simultaneous 5‑axis
CNC machining.

Compound angles and sculpted contours in a single setup — fewer fixtures, tighter true position, and the hardest parts held to print.

Five-axis is where we earn our name

By moving the part and tool through five axes at once, we cut complex geometry in one setup instead of chasing tolerance across multiple fixtures and re-clamps. The result is tighter accuracy, superior surface finish, and exceptional repeatability on the most demanding parts.

Why single-setup 5-axis wins

Every time a part comes off a fixture and goes back on, you stack tolerance and risk. Simultaneous 5-axis machining removes those handoffs: we hold true position across features that span multiple faces, reach deep pockets and undercuts with shorter, more rigid tooling, and deliver consistent results from the first article to the last.

  • Complex contours, impellers, and compound-angle features in one operation
  • Tight true-position and profile tolerances held across faces
  • Shorter tools, less deflection, finer finishes
  • Reduced fixturing and setup time on intricate parts

Typical 5-axis work

Aerospace brackets and housings, defense components, medical instruments, manifolds, and prototype hardware in demanding alloys. If it has geometry that can’t be reached from three axes — or tolerances that won’t survive a re-clamp — it belongs on a five-axis machine.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We routinely hold tight tolerances to print and can achieve down to ±0.0002" on appropriate features and materials. Send your drawing and we’ll confirm what’s achievable for your specific part.

Aluminum (our specialty), titanium, Inconel and other superalloys, stainless steel, and engineering plastics. Exotic, hard-to-machine alloys are a core strength.

Yes. We take single prototypes through repeatable production runs, with the documentation and inspection regulated industries require.
