Here at The Plastic Works, we provide a range of high-quality design and production processes to customers in the UK, including 5-axis CNC routing services. Today we are going to look at the benefits of using a 5-axis CNC router.

What is a 5-axis CNC router?

A 5-axis CNC router machine is a computer-controlled machine that provides complete freedom for manufacturing plastic products. Computer Numerical Control machines are a revolutionary production method that benefits all manufacturing industries. By inputting measurements into the computer, these machines can perform complex tasks with absolute uniformity and precision to cut a block of plastic to the desired shape.

1. Superior Complexity

While some companies may offer 3-axis CNC routing services, our 5-axis CNC router machines can produce more complex products with two additional planes. A 3 axis CNC router can only move in three planes, setting limitations for your design. With a 5-axis CNC router, we can produce intricate, three-dimensional designs using five planes in a single manufacturing process.

2. Repetitive Precision

If your design is too complex for our vacuum forming services, we can use a 5-axis CNC router to produce identical products of any shape and complexity. We offer 5-axis routing with a machinable size of 2400mm x 1250mm. With our 5-axis CNC routing services, the only limit is your imagination.

3. Efficient and Cost-Effective

As 5-axis CNC routers can produce accurate, repetitive products using a single process, these machines offer superior efficiency to their counterparts. We can work with these machines with little disruption and setup time, boosting productivity and reducing work duration.
