What is 3/4 Axis CNC Machining?

3/4 Axis CNC machining is an advanced manufacturing process that uses computer-controlled machines to precisely shape and cut materials like metal and plastic. By adding a rotational axis (A-axis) to the standard 3-axis setup, 4-axis CNC machining enables the production of more complex geometries with greater accuracy and efficiency. This versatility makes it ideal for industries such as aerospace, medical, and automotive, where high precision and rapid turnaround are essential for both prototypes and production parts.

Unlock Precision & Versatility with 3 & 4 Axis CNC Machining at Elite Mold Tech

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, precision, speed, and complexity are non-negotiable. That’s where 3-axis and 4-axis CNC machining comes into play bridging the gap between cost-efficiency and complex geometries. At Elite Mold Tech, we offer cutting-edge 3 and 4 axis CNC machining services to help you bring your designs to life with unmatched accuracy and consistency.

What is 3-Axis CNC Machining?

3-axis CNC machining is the most traditional form of CNC machining where the cutting tool moves along three axes: X, Y, and Z. It’s ideal for straightforward, flat-surfaced components or parts that only require machining on a single side.

This method is highly reliable for projects requiring precision without the need for complex angular cuts or undercuts. From brackets to housings, 3-axis machining is a workhorse solution for many industries, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.

What is 4-Axis CNC Machining?

4-axis CNC machining adds a rotating movement (A-axis) to the basic 3-axis setup. This fourth axis allows the workpiece to rotate, enabling cutting from multiple angles without repositioning. The result? Increased speed, accuracy, and flexibility—especially for cylindrical or angled parts.

Elite Mold Tech uses 4-axis machining to reduce setup times, improve part uniformity, and handle more complex geometries without sacrificing tight tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions

3/4 Axis CNC Machining FAQs

  • Do you offer design support before machining?

    Yes, we provide DFM (Design for Manufacturability) feedback to ensure your design is optimized for CNC machining. 

  • Can I use 3-axis machining for complex parts?

    3-axis is best for simple parts. For complex geometries, 4-axis is more efficient and precise. 

  • Is 4-axis machining more expensive than 3-axis?

    It can be slightly more expensive, but it often reduces setup time and improves accuracy, which saves costs overall. 

  • What materials can Elite Mold Tech machine?

    We work with metals like aluminum, steel, titanium, and various plastics. 

  • What is the main difference between 3 and 4 axis CNC machining?

    3-axis machining moves along X, Y, and Z axes, while 4-axis adds a rotational movement around one axis, allowing more complex cuts.
