    Frequently Asked Questions

    Answers to common 5‑axis CNC machining queries to resolve your project concerns quickly

    Q: What types of parts can be machined by 5‑axis CNC machining? +
    5‑axis CNC machining is suitable for complex curved surface parts, impellers, housings, precision structural components and special‑shaped parts requiring multi‑angle machining. It reduces repeated clamping and improves dimensional consistency.
    Q: Is 5‑axis machining far more costly than 3‑axis milling? +
    The basic unit price of 5‑axis machining is higher due to higher equipment investment and technical thresholds. Nevertheless, for complex multi‑sided parts, 5‑axis machining completes all processes in a single clamping. It reduces clamping errors and multi‑process transfer, leading to better overall costs.
    Q: Can aluminium 5‑axis machined parts undergo anodising? +
    Yes. We offer various anodising processes including natural colour, black, coloured and hard anodising. Suitable treatments can be selected according to your requirements for wear resistance, corrosion protection and appearance.
    Q: What is the fastest lead time for small‑batch 5‑axis prototypes? +
    Prototypes of regular aluminium alloy parts can be delivered within 3 working days. Lead times for complex structures or special material parts will be adjusted based on processing difficulty.
    Q: What dimensional accuracy can 5‑axis CNC machining achieve? +
    Standard machining reaches ±0.02 mm dimensional tolerance. With precise tooling and finishing operations, high precision up to ±0.005 mm can be achieved. Surface roughness can also be optimised to meet strict requirements for assembly and sealing applications.
    Q: What raw materials besides aluminium alloy are available for 5‑axis machining? +
    Processable materials include aluminium alloy, stainless steel, copper, 45# steel, engineering plastics, titanium alloy and more. We can recommend suitable raw materials and matching cutting processes based on product operating conditions.
