Last but not least, five-axis machining can be used for finish machining operations after processes such as additive manufacturing (AM). It also has less deflection than a longer cutter, resulting in improved surface finishes and longer tool life. Also, some larger machine tools are not very dynamic, so 3+2 motion is preferable.

Post-processing is a hot topic in the area of additive manufacturing (AM), which is unsurprising as in many applications, the post-processing step(s) can account for upwards of 50% of the total unit cost for an AM part. Mass finishing is wrongly regarded by many as a relatively crude technology. GOOD ENOUGH?
