Principle

A CNC machine moves on three linear axes (X, Y, Z) and two rotary axes (A, B) simultaneously, enabling flexible tool orientation for complex 3D surfaces.

Advantages

• Machining of complex three-dimensional geometries
• Reduced set-ups for better accuracy and efficiency
• Improved surface quality through ideal cutting angles

Application

• Aerospace: turbine blades and aero-engine components
• Automotive: complex engine components and molds
• Medical: implants and surgical instruments

Principle

Hybrid manufacturing combines additive and subtractive workflows: parts are rapidly built with 3D printing, then CNC-machined for precision and surface finish.

Advantages

• Manufacturing of hard-to-machine internal and complex structures
• Material savings thanks to additive preforming
• Shortened product cycle from prototype to final part

Application

• Rapid prototyping and validation
• Low-volume and customized production
• Complex components in medical and aerospace sectors

Principle

HSM increases spindle speed and feed rate to raise material removal rates, supported by rigid machine structures and fast feed systems.

Advantages

• Higher productivity and shorter machining time
• Superior surface finish at high speed with fine feed control
• Lower thermal deformation with reduced cutting force/heat impact

Application

• Aerospace: difficult-to-machine, high-strength materials
• Automotive: efficient production of complex parts
• Mold manufacturing: high precision and high finish requirements

Principle

MTM integrates turning, milling, drilling, and grinding on one machine so multiple operations can be completed in a single clamping.

Advantages

• Improved machining efficiency with less setup and handling
• Higher final accuracy by reducing accumulated clamping error
• Space and cost savings by reducing machine count

Application

• Complex parts in aerospace and automotive
• Small-batch, multi-variety production environments
• High-precision parts requiring multiple process steps
