Work with Us in 4 Simple Steps Only
With many years of manufacturing experience, NOBLE offers the best solutions for all rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing needs. We streamline the innovation cycle into four simple but effective steps.
Structure of A 5-axis CNC Machine
5-axis machines rely on a tool that moves in five different directions — X, Y, and Z, as well as A and B, around which the tool rotates. Using a 5-axis CNC machine lets operators approach apart from all directions in a single operation, eliminating the need to reposition the workpiece between operations manually. The structure of the CNC machining system is shown below.
Advantages of 5-axis CNC machining
5-axis CNC machining provides increased accuracy, the ability to machine complex geometries, reduced setup time, improved surface finish, and increased efficiency in producing complex parts. Our experienced team and professional smart manufacturing capabilities help to quickly design and manufacture complex, time-sensitive parts. NOBLE is your best choice with world-class precision 5-axis CNC parts machining quotes to help you reduce machine costs and deliver complex part quality.

5 Axis CNC Machining FAQs
The main difference is the fixturing and setup time. 3-axis machines work on 3 axes and 5-axis machines work on 5 axes. By using a 5-axis machine over a 3-axis machine, cycle time is remarkably reduced, decreasing it by more than 1/3rd.
To know more details about 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling, you can read our guide on Differences between 3-, 4-, and 5-Axis CNC Machining to help you choose the best suitable one for your CNC machining project.
- Fewer machines involved and reduced part handling, and setups;
- Highly engineered and complex part machining;
- Create complex part geometry in one setup;
- Increased part precision;
- Custom design for manufacture;
- Producing overall parts on demand;
- Reduction of costly workpiece fixtures and tooling redundancy;
- Conducive to unattended operations – single point load / unload;
- Go all the way – Gear cutting, hobbing, and skiving;
- Less ancillary equipment needed – gages and tools;
- Improved documentation and traceability – done-in-one.
The flexibility of 5-axis CNC machining allows the creation of complex components with complex shapes and geometrical details. The stability of the machining tool also gives more consistent and smoother surface finishes. Therefore, you should choose 5-axis machining whenever you need to produce complex parts with tight tolerances.
Our 5-axis milling machines can accommodate a length of 42 inches bar stock. This allows us to work on a wide range of projects for various applications.
The cost of your CNC machining projects is not fixed as it depends on the characteristics of your project, such as the design, and tolerances. Machining times of the material to be used in the project also contribute to this pricing.
