research take-off



3-axis milling

5-axis milling

the possibilities for 3d milled shapes with a 5-axis milling machine seem to be endless (until we take a look at de base plane of the workpiece, which stays flat)







free form divided in elements. The 3D or 2,5D milling process can handle any shape, but concave shapes with a large curvature might be more difficult. create smaller elements when curvature increases.

  1. There can be other means to handle the material in a 5-axis milling machine than keep a flat base. But, for sure there are limitations to what can be achieved considering how the material should be held.
