For shops · 5-axis & multi-axis milling shops
5-axis shops: complex contoured RFQs routed to you
Parts that need true 5-axis — compound angles, deep pockets reached from one setup, turbine and impeller geometry — are a specialty few of our generalist shops run. If 5-axis is your bread and butter, we have the matching work.
RFQs on the board
5-axis work on our board
Aerospace structural brackets and manifolds
- Pocketed aluminum (6061, 7075) brackets with compound-angle features in one setup
- Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) hydraulic and fuel-system manifolds
- AS9100 required for the aerospace tier, FAIR per AS9102
Impellers, blisks, and turbine components
- 5-axis milled impellers in aluminum, titanium, and Inconel
- Compressor wheels and small blisks for propulsion and APU R&D
- True simultaneous 5-axis motion, not 3+2 positioning
Medical implants and anatomical geometry
- Cranial plates, patient-specific implants, spinal cages
- Ti-6Al-4V ELI and CoCrMo with ISO 13485 traceability
- Finish-side electropolish or anodize partner required
Mold tooling and 5-axis finished molds
- Injection-mold cavities and cores with 3D surfaces
- High-speed milling in hardened P20, S7, H13
- Surface finishes to 8 Ra on finishing passes
What qualifies you
What a qualified 5-axis shop looks like
- True 5-axis machining centers
- DMG Mori, Mazak Variaxis, Hermle, Okuma MU, Makino, or equivalent trunnion or table/head configuration.
- CAM capability
- Mastercam, hyperMILL, PowerMill, NX, or equivalent 5-axis simultaneous programming. In-house programmer, not just a post.
- Probing and in-process metrology
- Spindle probing, Renishaw tool-setter, CMM for first-article and final inspection.
- Material experience
- Aluminum, titanium, stainless, Inconel, cobalt-chrome, PEEK — the Ni-base superalloy experience especially matters.
- Certifications
- ISO 9001 is enough for general industrial; AS9100 opens aerospace; ISO 13485 opens medical.
- Capacity
- A single 5-axis mill is fine. Multiple machines plus lights-out capacity opens the production tier.
What you get
What a 5-axis partner gets
Free to join; no fees
No subscription, no per-RFQ fee, no commission on your quote.
Jobs matched to true 5-axis
We do not send 3-axis work mislabeled 5-axis. If an RFQ only needs 3+2, we route it to a 3-axis shop.
Realistic schedules
5-axis programming time is respected; we do not pressure a complex blisk into a 48-hour quote.
Material fronted
Customer pays us before you cut; long-lead titanium or Inconel stock is covered.
Keep your own customers
Our RFQs are new buyers; we do not approach your existing accounts.
DFM credit
If you review 5-axis designs for fixturing and setup reduction, flag DFM review on your profile and we bring you in early.
