5-axis CNC machine tools: Industry solutions
Aerospace industry
The aerospace industry has exacting precision requirements that 5 axis CNC machine tools can respond to. 5 axis CNC machine tools can also machine complex, high precision parts (turbine blades, impellers and structural parts) in a single clamping operation which provides time and efficiency savings while reducing errors. 5 axis CNC machine tools can also machine high-strength materials associated with aerospace (titanium alloys and composite materials).
Automotive Manufacturing
In the age of electric vehicles, 5-axis CNC machining is a vital component of automotive production, with the ability to process electric motor housings (which include complex cooling channels and mutual locations for mounting), along with weight-reduction efforts on lighter structural components (where its ratio of strength to weight is maximized) simultaneously. The 5-axis CNC machine reduces tool change time, setup, and material scrap and waste, all while simplifying processes and reducing costs.
Medical field
5-axis CNC machines produce high-precision custom parts for the medical industry. These machines are able to duplicate the required anatomical forms necessary for orthopedic implants (hip and knee joints) which results in a closer/ better fit to the patient, and a number of dental restorations (crowns and bridges). This technology has advanced to include biocompatible materials (titanium and zirconia) while achieving micron tolerances.
Mold Manufacturing
The molding industry is all about precision, detail, and accuracy; 5-axis CNC machining is no better suited for any other industry. 5-axis CNC gives the ability to process deep cavities, accurate sharp angles, and smooth surfaces precisely; each of which is necessary for the molding industry (injection molds, die-casting molds, and forging molds [for instance smartphone case molds]). Performing jobs that require manual polishing processes can be more easily accomplished, will speed up production workflows (delivery times), and delivers an improved mold (overall mold quality improved, with increased volume made).

We got this 5-axis mill specifically for machining titanium turbine blades. The precision and surface finish are fantastic coming right off the machine itself. What impressed us even more than that was how much the production time was decreased. What normally took three separate setups and almost a week of machining now takes one 18-hour machining operation.
As a job shop that specializes in medical implants, accuracy is everything. This 5-axis CNC center has completely changed the way we operate. We can now machine complex organic geometries out of PEEK and cobalt-chrome, in one clamp, eliminating all of our fixturing headaches and human error.
We went from a design-and-test cycle that took 2-weeks, to just 4 days. The simultaneous 5-axis capability has allowed us to machine unbelievably light, strong parts that have internal channels and compound angles that we could never dream of milling before. It is incredibly solid and hasn't had a problem cutting anything we threw at it, from aluminum blocks to carbon composites.
It is extremely adaptable. One day we are machining a complex camera housing from magnesium, the next day we are machining a intricate sculpture from tooling board. The intuitive control system made the learning curve way shorter than I first expected. It is now the machine we use the most, and it allows us to provide our clients with capabilities far beyond what almost all other local prototype shops can.
