While it is a more basic machining process, 3-axis machining may be ideal for your machining projectdepending on the size of your production run, the workpiece requirements, accuracy and finish constraints, materials used and your holding capabilities. Because 3-axis machining only operates on the 3 axes, it’s relatively simple and allows material to be removed in these 3 axes represented by back to front, side to side and up and down.
3-axis machining still one of the most widely used techniques to create mechanical parts, and can be used for automatic/interactive operation, milling slots, drilling holes, and cutting sharp edges. In three axis machining, the workpiece remains still while the cutting tool moves along the 3 axes to mill the part. WHAT IS 3-AXIS MACHINING?ģ-axis milling evolved from the practice of rotary filing, and is a milling process that operated on two axes, the X & Y axis. Here we look at 3, 4, and 5 axis machining, their differences, and which to choose for your part. The axes that a milling machine has, determines the type of work and the locations in which it can be done on the workpiece. Milling uses rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece by feeding the workpiece at an angle to the axis of the tool. Milling is an important technique used in CNC precision machining having applications for medical, aerospace, optical, as mechanical parts.
