5-sided (3+2 machining) with simultaneous 5-axis
With five-axis machining services, we can machine complex geometries with extremely high precision and accuracy. For extremely complex and multi-faceted parts, our advanced five-axis machines can process efficiently and flexibly through five-axis linkage, allowing shorter and stronger cutting tools to improve stability, maintain accuracy and obtain good surface quality. Xtmade provides five-axis CNC parts machining services to customers around the world, covering aerospace, automotive, marine, machinery, medical, energy, electronics and other industries. Whether it is metal or plastic materials, whether it is prototype design or small batch production, our factory’s advanced equipment can meet your needs. We have the processing capabilities to achieve a tolerance accuracy of 0.002mm and can provide a complete test report. You can rest assured to entrust your project to us
3+2 Axis CNC Machining
3+2 axis is another form of 5-axis CNC machining. When the cutting tool is not moving along the X, Y, and Z axes, the machine can rely on the 4th and 5th axes (adjusting the angle of the cutting tool). This form of 5-axis machining is generally slower than simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining, but can produce stronger parts and longer tool life.
Simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining
Simultaneous (or continuous) 5-axis CNC machining is an advanced CNC 5-axis machining method in which the machine tool can be adjusted continuously without interruption, allowing the movement of five axes to machine parts with complex designs such as curved surfaces, irregular shapes and deep cavities. Simultaneous 5-axis CNC is very fast because the cutting tool can move continuously without interruption.
What ls the Difference Between 3-Axis and 5-Axis CNC?
The difference between 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining lies in their capabilities and the level of precision they offer. 5-axis CNC machining is considered the pinnacle of computer numerical control technology and has revolutionized the manufacturing landscape. Unlike 3-axis machines, which control the machine along the X, Y, and Z linear axes, 5-axis machining adds two additional rotational axes. This advanced technology can create parts with unique shapes with unmatched precision.
A key advantage of 5-axis CNC machining is its ability to perform a comprehensive examination of the dimensional analysis of the material through 5-axis positioning machining. This comprehensive analysis helps produce more precise components that meet the highest quality standards. 5-axis machining offers unparalleled versatility compared to traditional 3-axis and 4-axis machining options. Complex part production is possible by machining a component from three axes simultaneously, increasing efficiency and reducing production time.

- Anodizing
- Powder coating
- Plating
- Polishing
What is 5-axis CNc Machining
The cutting tool on a 5-axis CNC machining center can move on five axes (usually only three). Compared to 3-axis CNC machines, where the spindle can move up and down, left and right, and forward and backward, 5-axis machines have an extra axis when working: the table swings left and right on two different axes, or the spindle itself rotates around one axis. This allows the cutting tool to approach the workpiece from countless angles and remove excess material, so parts with highly complex shapes can be manufactured. 5-axis CNC machining can also reduce the number of setups required, and automated equipment eliminates the need for machinists to manually adjust the workpiece because the cutting tool can easily reach more positions. This makes the entire machining process very fast.
Benefits of 5-Axis CNC Machining
With our 5-axis CNC machining services, customers can experience numerous benefits that significantly increase manufacturing output.
- Improved accuracy and precision: 5-axis CNC machines operate with greater precision than traditional 3-axis CNC machines. More complex parts and assemblies can be machined.
- Reduced lead times: Production speed is important for any project, and the ability to automatically position cutting tools on a 5-axis CNC machine means faster cycle times and potentially higher production throughput.
- EASY SETUP: 5-axis machines allow all parts to be set up in one go, even those with complex geometries, resulting in faster production, fewer errors and lowest operating costs.
- Increased complexity: One of the main advantages over 3-axis machines is that you no longer need to remove the workpiece during the manufacturing process. Complex angles and geometries can be machined efficiently and with high precision.
- Improved surface finish: Materials are held more tightly on 5-axis machines, which means better surface finishes for even the most complex parts. In this setup, tighter angles are achieved through an improved drilling process.
