For decades, machined parts have been made using conventional 3-axis milling machines, and using these machines' traditional X, Y, and Z movement is still the most popular way to produce parts in the machining industry. Later, fourth and fifth-axis capabilities were added. While adding two new axis capabilities to a conventional 3-axis machine technically creates a machine with five axes, not all five-axis machines have the same capabilities.

This webcast covers everything you need to know about the differences between 3+2 and 5-Axis machining using Autodesk® Inventor® CAM and the Fusion 360® Machining Extension.

Topics covered:

• 3-Axis Machining
• 3+1 Positional Machining
• 3+2 Positional Machining
• True 5-Axis Machining
• Swarf Machining
• Flow Machining
• Multi-Axis Contour Machining
