With 2-axis milling, the cutting tool moves across two axes, X and Y, while 3-axis milling adds the Z axis, where the tool head moves up and down.
Upgrading your CNC software to offer 3-axis toolpaths can accomplish the same milling jobs with fewer setups – leading to less machine time and corresponding cost savings. With 4-axis milling, one rotational axis is added.
With 3+2-axis machining, also called positional 5-axis machining, the cutting tool moves across three linear axes (X, Y and Z) and can tilt to different angles along two rotational axes (A or B, plus C). By contrast, simultaneous 5-axis machining, also called true 5-axis machining, moves both the cutting tool and the workpiece along X, Y, Z, as well as A/B and C axes simultaneously.
3+2-axis machining has the advantages of reducing setups, avoiding collisions and using shorter, more rigid tools without the level of complex CNC software and hardware programming that simultaneous 5-axis machining requires. However, simultaneous 5-axis machining can achieve more complex organic shapes and contours, as well as reduce machining time and waste.
CNC turning typically involves lathe machines that spin the stock along a stationary cutting tool. Turning operations include removing material from the front of the stock or from the outside of the part; adding threads to the part; and boring, or creating holes, in the part.
Turning does certain jobs more efficiently than milling, but “mill-turning” operations can combine both turning and milling when your CNC software and machinery can support it.
Sheet metal fabrication is a process that involves creating metal structures and components by cutting, bending and assembling sheet metal. The process usually begins with cutting, which is achieved through various methods such as shearing, laser cutting, waterjet cutting (US Site) or plasma cutting (US Site), to shape the metal into the desired dimensions.
After cutting, the metal is bent into the necessary shapes using tools such as press brakes, rollers or other bending equipment to form angles and curves as specified by the design. The final stage involves assembling the cut and bent pieces using techniques such as welding, riveting or adhesive bonding to construct the final structure or component.
3D printing is the process of adding material to a structure using an extruder or printhead that adds material by heating, melting or applying pressure, building an object one layer at a time. It is a type of additive manufacturing.
Autodesk Fusion provides comprehensive tools for 3D printing, enabling users to design, simulate and prepare models for additive manufacturing. With Fusion, users can easily create complex geometries, optimise designs for printing and seamlessly collaborate across teams to bring innovative products to life.
Integrated CAD/CAM automatically cascades design revisions through to production, shortening delivery times and avoiding costly mistakes.
