Five-axis machining exists to solve problems that other processes cannot: geometry that cannot be reached, surfaces that have to blend continuously, and deep features where a three-axis setup would need an impractically long cutter.
What we machine
Impellers and rotors, turbine and compressor components, manifolds and ported housings, aerospace and UAV structural brackets, medical instrument bodies, and sculpted consumer product housings where the cosmetic surface has to flow without witness lines.
Planning a five-axis job
The work is decided in CAM before a machine is reserved: toolpaths are collision-checked, the fixture is modelled, and the datum strategy is fixed. That planning step is what allows the part to be machined in one or two setups instead of five, and it is the reason five-axis jobs are quoted from the model rather than from a rough size estimate.
Verification
Sculpted surfaces are verified on a CMM against the supplied model. Where the part has functional features, we measure those features directly and report them, rather than relying on the surface scan alone.
