Frequently Asked Questions

What is multi-axis milling?

Multi-axis milling is a CNC machining process where the cutting tool and/or workpiece moves along more than three axes simultaneously. This allows complex geometries, undercuts, and contoured surfaces to be machined in a single setup, improving accuracy, reducing fixturing time, and enabling the production of intricate parts required by aerospace, defense, and robotics industries.
