And at 3ERP, you will find a wide range of precision CNC machining services, an experienced team of experts, and extensive experience of how to best approach different projects using 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machines. We offer CNC milling & CNC turning, EDM, wire EDM, and surface grinding services and can handle all the technical aspects of creating your prototypes and parts, allowing you to focus on bringing your product to the market.

Our Aluminum Machining Capabilities

At 3ERP, we have CNC machines with powerful spindles that allow us to cut aluminum at high speed—ideal for parts such as enclosures. However, by using high-RPM machines fitted with smaller cutters, we can also produce parts with a high-quality machined surface and fine details: aluminum reflectors and aluminum mold cores, for example.

Our experience with rapid material removal and fine detailing means we can produce a range of aluminum machined parts, simple and complex, small and large. We are also flexible, in that we can handle a one-off aluminum machined prototype with a fast turnaround or a large order of custom aluminum parts with a low unit cost.

5-Axis Machining Applications

Automotive

5-axis machining is widely used in the automotive industry for the prototyping and production of car components.

These components include:

Engine housings
Engine covers
Valves
Inspection jigs
Light guides

Aerospace

Although turnaround times may be a big concern for some aerospace companies, complexity is the main reason why the industry is so dependent on 5-axis CNC.

Aircraft components often have intricate geometries — frequently including curves and interior cuts — that would take a long time to machine on a 3-axis setup.

5-axis machining can be used on all manner of titanium and aluminum aerospace parts, including:

Bulkheads
Fuselage sections
Landing gear components

Medical

Titanium and stainless steel surgical tools are frequently fabricated with 5-axis machining. These parts must be made to a high level of precision and are often made in large quantities, which favors the increased efficiency of a 5-axis CNC machine.

Machined surgical tools include:

Scalpels
Forceps
Cutters
Spacers
Clamps
Surgical scissors

Military

Large-scale 5-axis machine shops are frequently employed by governments for military projects, with 5-axis CNC suitable for the production of parts such as:

Turbine blades
Submarine parts
Engine parts
Sensors
Weapons

Electronics

In the electronics industry, 5-axis machining can be used to make essential parts for consumer electronic devices such as digital cameras and laptops.

Electronics casings and enclosures are often machined from plastic or aluminum, and 5-axis CNC is especially useful for chassis of irregularly shaped devices such as SLR cameras.

5-axis machining can also be used to fabricate parts like heat sinks — especially those with irregular or densely populated fin patterns. The efficiency and deftness of 5-axis also makes it easy to fabricate heat sinks in large quantities.

Molds

5-axis CNC machining can be used to cut deep mold cavities with minimal tool chatter and maximum precision. This is because 5-axis provides much better tool access to the workpiece, which in turn allows shorter cutting tools to be used.

All of this makes 5-axis CNC an appealing alternative to EDM, which is a much slower moldmaking process than CNC machining.

Advantages of Precision Machining

Precision machining is an essential manufacturing process that enables companies to produce the most delicate parts with the tightest tolerances imaginable. Here are just some of its main advantages over alternative approaches:

High Precision

As the name implies, precision molding offers unparalleled accuracy, producing consistent quality with every part that is produced.

Minimal Errors

Because precision machining uses CNC technology, it is largely automated and reduces the probability of error to a minimum.

Efficiency

Because of the automated nature of the process, precision CNC machining can produce parts very efficiently and with minimal workforce intervention.

Less Waste

Precision machining produces minimal waste, allowing to save on materials and maintain environmentally-friendly manufacturing practices.

Cost-Effective

The high-tech nature of the process also means that there’s less waste, less labor, and a low chance of error, which makes it one of the most cost-effective manufacturing methods.

FAQ’s

What are the 5 axes on a CNC machine?

The axes, in terms of CNC machining, determine the number of directions that the cutting tool can move in when producing parts. There are the three-dimensional axes, and the 5-axis machine’s cutting tool can also rotate to approach the part from two directions, which serve as two additional axes.

When does 5-axis machining make sense?

Because of the flexibility offered by 5-axis machining, it should be used to create the most complex shapes and details in parts. The stability of the tool also provides a smoother and more consistent finish.

Can 5-axis provide tight tolerances?

5-axis CNC machining is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies available, so it can produce some of the tightest tolerances possible, even on complex and detailed parts.
