Complex parts in a single setup
A 5 axis CNC machining center machines multi-sided complex parts in a single setup; its price varies significantly with table size, spindle type, control unit and configuration. This page explains the factors that determine 5 axis CNC price and how to budget correctly.
The table size and axis strokes of a 5 axis machine are the main price drivers. Choose a table suited to your part, not oversized.
A high-speed spindle (HSK/BT) and strong torque are needed for complex surfaces but raise the price. Choose according to your material.
Heidenhain, FANUC and Siemens 5 axis controls; CAM post-processor compatibility is also decisive.
3+2 (positioning) solutions are more economical than full simultaneous 5 axis; if your part doesn't need simultaneous cutting, 3+2 may suffice.
Table size, axis strokes, spindle speed and torque, control unit (Heidenhain/FANUC/Siemens) and whether it is simultaneous or 3+2. Full simultaneous 5 axis is clearly more expensive than 3+2.
A wide range by capacity and configuration. Taiwanese 5 axis machines are substantially more affordable than Japanese or European equivalents in the same accuracy class. The exact price is set by quote.
If your part needs simultaneous multi-axis cutting, full 5 axis is required. If you only machine from different angles, 3+2 is more economical and sufficient for most applications.
