Precision CNC Machining for Small, Complex Parts
Additive manufacturing makes it possible to produce complex geometries that traditional manufacturing can't achieve alone, but creating the part is only the first step. Azoth's in-house 5-axis CNC machining turns complex printed components into finished, production-ready parts.

3-Axis and 5-Axis CNC Machining
Traditional 3-axis machining moves a cutting tool along three linear directions. A 5-axis machine adds two rotational axes, the difference between reaching a few faces of a part and reaching nearly all of them in one setup.
3-Axis Linear Motion
The Baseline
3-Axis Machining
Moves a cutting tool along three linear directions: X, Y and Z.
- Larger parts due to bigger work envelopes
- Reduce complexity, get parts faster
- Quicker lead times
5-Axis Simultaneous Motion
Two More Axes
5-Axis Machining
Adds two rotational axes, allowing the cutting tool and workpiece to move in multiple directions, accessing more sides and angles of a component without repeatedly removing, repositioning and resetting the part.
For complex components, that added flexibility can make a significant difference in how efficiently and accurately a finished part can be produced.
