Feature | 3-Axis CNC | 4-Axis CNC | 5-Axis CNC |
Axis Movement | Moves along X, Y and Z axes | Adds rotation around one axis | Adds rotation around two axes |
Part Complexity | Suitable for simple to moderately complex parts | Suitable for parts requiring side features or rotary machining | Suitable for complex geometries, angled features and multi-side machining |
Setup Time | May require multiple setups for complex parts | Reduces setups for some multi-side parts | Can reduce setups for complex parts and improve machining efficiency |
Surface Finish | Good, depending on tool access and setup | Better access for certain side features | Improved tool access and smoother tool paths for complex surfaces |
Tool Access | Limited access to undercuts or angled features | Improved access compared with 3-axis machining | Best access for complex angles, cavities and difficult-to-reach features |
Cost | Usually more cost-effective for simple parts | Moderate cost for parts requiring rotary machining | Higher machine cost, but can be efficient for complex parts with fewer setups |
Note: The best machining method depends on part geometry, tolerance requirements, quantity, material and cost target. Xintao will select a suitable machining process based on your drawings and project requirements.
