5-Axis Machining

At Tarvin Precision, 5-axis machining is part of how we deliver precise, high-integrity parts for complex applications. Whether you’re working with tight tolerances or challenging geometries, we have the capability, experience and systems to get it right, from design input through to final inspection.

Why 5-Axis and When It Matters

5-axis machining allows for:

  • Precision across compound features

  • Reduced reorientation errors

  • Access to intricate or multi-face geometries

These benefits are especially critical in aerospace, defence, scientific and other high-performance sectors where weight, accuracy and surface integrity matter. But achieving them isn’t just about hardware, it’s about understanding the full scope of the part and the project.

At Tarvin Precision, we work closely with customers to determine when 5-axis is the right fit and how best to manage the process, both technically and commercially.

Expertise in Managing Complexity

We routinely support 5-axis components by:

  • Advising on geometry optimisation and machining approach

  • Managing CAM programming and simulation to avoid errors

  • Overseeing the entire workflow with ERP-backed process control and full traceability

Our team ensures that even the most complex features are delivered with confidence, aligning with our AS9100 and ISO 9001 processes to ensure quality at every stage.
