01 / STANDARD ACCESS
3-Axis CNC Machining
A practical and cost-effective solution for many prismatic parts where the required features can be accessed through standard machining setups.
- Plates and flat components
- Housings with accessible features
- Pockets and cavities
- Hole patterns
- Parts reached through conventional machining directions
4-AXIS PART IMAGEIndexed multi-face component · 4:3
02 / ROTARY ACCESS
4-Axis CNC Machining
The rotary axis allows additional faces or features around a part to be machined with fewer setups, helping improve positional consistency.
- Features on multiple sides
- Rotational or indexed features
- Holes around cylindrical surfaces
- Components otherwise requiring repeated repositioning
- Better positional consistency between different faces
4-axis machining adds a rotary axis, allowing features on multiple sides or around a part to be machined with fewer setups.

INSPECTION FOCUS
INSPECTION IMAGE PLACEHOLDERCMM and dimensional measurementHeight gauge · thread gauge · functional fit
01Hole Position & Diameter
Hole diameter, position and relationship between multiple holes.
02Flatness & Perpendicularity
Flatness, perpendicularity and datum relationships.
03Thread Verification
Thread gauges, mating fit and thread depth where required.
04Pocket Depth & Feature Location
Pocket depth, steps, slots and critical feature positioning.
05Thin-Wall & Deformation Control
Inspection of thin-wall, long or stress-sensitive parts where machining deformation may occur.
06Post-Finishing Dimensions
Critical dimensions and mating features verified after anodizing, plating, painting or coating where required.
Inspection is based on how the part will function, fit and assemble — not only on isolated dimensions.
