Users still have to precisely turn the object by hand - or lose the entire run. But 5-axis milling machines -- normally very large and very expensive -- also add the ability to control milling in two additional, rotating axes. The 5AXISMAKER machines, which include 3D printing, fit on a desktop and are reasonably priced. The result: complex designs that can be rendered perfectly in one run, every time, by individuals and any business. And 5-axis printing of 3D models enables techniques that go beyond the horizontal layers of a regular 3D printer, such as printing conformally around a shape and printing in interwoven layers to improve structural strength. Our machines are the only affordable ones that offer 5-axis printing or milling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609803491276-YSYIFOQH8GF5FQ5N4DXO/5AXISMAKER_In_Action_Dalmau_Boats.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1612360862472-8F8CFSNQK6RBU9VO5I3X/5AXISMAKER_In_Action_Joseph_Marr.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1611157314092-CMGMYP7OFJ9HHT1818G6/5XM-RIT.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1612538964110-97MWZK06QBQ4YDOYQFOX/5xm_clear_aligners.jpg Home - Make complex parts, tools or models — affordably, on your desktop Our machines allow dentists to create their own precisely-fitted teeth aligners, product designers to form physical renderings of their ideas, architects to generate detailed models of buildings, and sculptors to turn their visions into reality.

We steadily ship machines to Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, and our presence is increasing in South America and the Middle East. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/e3aea339-aa5a-446e-b83e-18f1e4ee1cbb/maker-faire-ny-mood.jpg About Us Today, those machines – now available in various models – are employed to create high-quality dental clear aligners, architectural models, sculptures, tool parts and many other items in offices and labs around the world. Each machine acts as a "factory on a desktop," permitting iterative design with affordable and repeatable prototyping, testing and production of a wide range of products. Because of Gaydar's and Gridnev's vision, these breakthrough tools now allow others' visions to be modeled and produced -- precisely, repeatedly, in a relatively small space and at a reasonable cost.

To get the job done right, they needed to prototype in 5 axes, but no 5-axis CNC (computer numerical control) milling machine was available for less than £75,000. So, they designed and built their own 5-axis milling machine. Soon, they discovered that many other people similarly needed affordable, high-quality 5-axis CNC milling that was compatible with common CAM software, and they began a CNC service to make prototypes for London-based designers and architectural firms. In September of 2014, they founded the London-based 5AXISWORKS, launched a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, and started building and shipping the first affordable additive (3D printing) and subtractive (5-axis milling) CNC desktop machines. https://5axismaker.co.uk/terms-and-conditions-of-use-of-the-website daily 0.75 2024-01-17 https://5axismaker.co.uk/get-in-touch daily 0.75 2025-12-03 https://5axismaker.co.uk/education-and-research daily 0.75 2022-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609710830191-9YDEVEZ1WMBY0N0E0WM1/Antvorskov_Skole.jpg Education and Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609710595303-30W0XHKKA0NBH55SQMA9/CBC5doPjWv87leAd-3.jpeg Education and Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609695424760-MYE1ACL2POSADMP1TMEA/Imperial_College_Dyson_5_Pascall_Watson_4_3-2+copy.jpg Education and Research 5AXISMAKER 5XM400 is employed for various kinds of research at Imperial College London's Dyson School of Design Engineering Lab https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1614635244163-FETZ3PUA0WVWZ87EU0MN/EU-Horizon2020-1.jpg Education and Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609710617602-OGZGVA1BT0IHQ74ZL7N5/CqE6W7JWIAAlxuF.jpg Education and Research https://5axismaker.co.uk/architecture daily 0.75 2022-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609692205413-315L45DFADR5GJ3PUZ2J/rsz_h602_77_107.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609691546556-7IPKL2G228ONJNGX3QNH/Digital-Building-Renovation-Fusion-360.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1645380665199-MFX4U9BUTKGVJREAUPY0/facade_piece_remake.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1645380453645-WK8Y0L6MZTJWLGJSXNF8/facade_piece_fusion360.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1645380459235-C4MDJG920XRXZQP1KM9T/facade_piece_5xm.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609692257823-CCPEW7E2EY935ZMELN3Y/80_IMG_6163.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609692245558-B5Q44F7IXOCCN577GPWF/80_4ec6f3197df80e25d50f017ad88f1fd2+01.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609692249740-0Y4AOURXMSJLACXF7QDP/80_7fb3e881f4f30705e5b8633903ffb552.jpg Architecture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1609692252995-DFY7PPONQ7APGHNCFG8J/80_601f23ebfafec51cac15ae4eb66082d2.jpg Architecture https://5axismaker.co.uk/aerospace daily 0.75 2022-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/8bbfa387-dd12-4ef6-9f51-6a83ead455ac/5-axis_simultaneous.jpg Aerospace - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://5axismaker.co.uk/sculpture daily 0.75 2022-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/4f835b5a-067c-4040-900e-ef0aa53431f5/IMG_6977-1130x904.jpeg Sculpture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/53db46ae-b30e-4b9e-a227-663b1490ec18/thumbnail-01-w.jpeg Sculpture - Lost Wax Casting Using the same 3D model as for the wooden Franklin (above), this bust was milled by our machine out of a block of wax. Silicon was then wrapped around the wax bust, and, after the silicon hardened, molten brass was poured inside – melting the wax and creating a brass Franklin bust in a process called “lost wax casting.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/2fbea3bb-1214-4c32-88fe-c6c157618018/20171121_100636-copy-1130x904.jpeg Sculpture - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/d1d1ffa8-767f-4d00-bc7a-f9199b64bbc3/hardwood-thumb-w.jpeg Sculpture - Hardwood As a test project, 5AXISMAKER downloaded a free 3D model of a 1778 bust of American founding father Benjamin Franklin, currently in the Metropolitan Museum in New York City.

That was accomplished by constructing the helmet out of two, interlocking halves that perfectly fit together. A draft version of the helmet was first milled in extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam to test the process (grey helmet in photos below.) Then a final version was milled in polyurethane (cream-colored helmet below), before a final paint job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d53c7f22ee2de0001dce3a9/1647370067769-8U29FRSYG3CG78545P7L/talon2.jpg Props -
