3-axis CNC milling is the most widely specified milling process for prismatic components, parts whose geometry can be machined on X, Y, and Z linear planes from a single setup orientation. It is the standard process for a broad range of industrial precision components, from simple plates and brackets to complex housings and valve bodies.
Turnspeed's 3-axis CNC milling service is built around the DMG MORI i30V: a high-productivity, twin-table vertical machining centre designed for continuous output with minimal downtime. The twin-table configuration is a significant operational advantage, while the spindle is in cut on one table, the second can be loaded and prepared, effectively eliminating the idle time between cycles that reduces throughput on single-table machines.
For buyers focused on cost per part, this matters. The i30V's ability to maintain near-continuous spindle engagement translates directly into faster turnaround and lower unit costs on medium-to-high-volume runs.
Our 3-axis milling capability handles a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminium, stainless steel, brass, and engineering plastics, across component sizes from small precision housings to larger structural parts. Typical applications include flanges, bearing housings, manifold bodies, machined enclosures, tooling plates, and structural brackets for the aerospace, automotive, hydraulic, oil and gas, and industrial sectors.
Where part geometry demands simultaneous multi-axis interpolation, compound angles, curved surfaces, undercuts, or features requiring repositioning, our 5-axis CNC milling capability is available alongside, giving Turnspeed the flexibility to machine virtually any component under one roof.
Machined components can move directly into our assembly and call-off service.
