15 Years Industry Experience
High-performance 5-axis machining centers
Precision machining capabilities
Precise and efficient 3-5 axis CNC machining to meet the needs of complex parts
3-Axis CNC Machining
Our 3-axis CNC mills provide high precision for components with prismatic features, typically achieving tolerances of ±0.01mm, with capability down to ±0.005mm for select applications
Applications: Brackets, plates, fixtures, and basic housings.
4-Axis CNC Turning
Our 4-axis CNC lathes are equipped with live tooling, enabling efficient machining of complex rotational parts. Most intricate features can be completed in a single setup without the need for secondary operations, significantly improving both precision and efficiency.
Applications: Shafts, couplings, valves, and rotational components.
5-Axis CNC Machining
Our advanced 5-axis machines allow complex multi-surface machining to be completed in a single setup. Precision levels typically reach ±0.005mm, and can go as low as ±0.003mm under specific conditions for certain high-tolerance applications.
Applications: Turbine blades, impellers, aerospace components, and medical implants.

Benefits of 5-Axis CNC Machining
Rapid Model's advanced multi-axis machining delivers outstanding results.
Advanced precision & complexity
5-axis CNC machining allows us to create complex, organic geometries that would be impossible with traditional 3-axis machines. With simultaneous movement in five axes, we can approach the workpiece from any direction, eliminating the need for multiple setups.
Superior Surface Finish
Continuous tool contact with the workpiece maintains optimum cutting conditions, resulting in exceptional surface finishes and reduced need for secondary operations.
Reduced Production Time
Complex parts can be completed in a single setup, dramatically reducing production time and eliminating errors associated with repositioning.
Extended Tool Life
The ability to orient the cutting tool optimally reduces tool deflection and vibration, extending tool life and maintaining precision throughout long production runs.
