Skip to content Rapid Precision has 5-axis CNC machining that produces precision-machined parts. Our custom components are available in more than 50 metals and plastics with superior surface finishes and tolerances as fine as +-0.0008. Allow us to undertake your complicated machining requirements with rapidity, dependability as well as superior quality.
5-axis CNC machining is a form of precision milling that is made up of five free axes, and thus the machine is able to have a part cut at several angles at the same time. The method allows making very complicated geometries, complex contours, and fine details that may be hard or impossible to achieve by conventional processes. Best suited to industries where the highest accuracy is required, 5-axis machining is capable of machining a full variety of materials such as metals, plastics and composites.
The big distinction between 5-axis machining and 3-axis machining is the added rotational movement 3-axis machining is limited to work on three fixed planes, and 5-axis machining offers greater flexibility in more complex shapes and tight tolerance. The 5-axis allows complex geometries, undercuts, and complicated finishes on the surface to be realized without having a number of setups.
Rapid Precision is your go-to provider for advanced CNC machining, delivering high-precision parts across industries.
We at Rapid Precision take pride in offering some of the most precise 5-axis CNC machining in the industry. Regardless of the complexity of the machining that is required, our global network of certified suppliers allows for top of the line results to be produced for engineers, manufacturers, and designers alike.
We support your needs with quick lead times, and competitive pricing from prototypes to large production runs with no transparency lost in our dealings. We have engineering grade quality control, so you can trust us with precision, reliability, and delivery, on time; you can obtain a quick price and design review from our Instant Quoting Engine so that you can be certain that each part will be made to your specifications.
