If you’re like most shops, 5-axis machining holds a lot of promise—but also comes with real challenges.
Programming can be time-consuming. Setups can get complicated. And when the risk of scrapping a high-value part is on the line, it’s easy to fall back on what feels safe.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Join GibbsCAM, Matsuura, and EMUGE-FRANKEN for a live, in-person event focused on a more practical approach to 5-axis machining—one that helps you reduce complexity, not add to it.
Through a real-world machining demo, we’ll show how to:

- Streamline 5-axis programming and reduce cycle time at the CAM level
- Simplify setups and minimize repositioning, as demonstrated on the Matsuura MX-330 PC10 .
- Improve process reliability with the right tooling strategy
- Increase machine utilization through smarter workflow strategies, including palletized 5-axis machining
We'll also explore how modern 5-axis platforms with pallet systems can help shops keep spindles running longer, reduce idle time between jobs, and better manage multiple parts or operations—especially in high-mix production.
Who Should Attend
This event is designed for shops looking to get more out of their 5-axis capability—without adding complexity.
You should attend if you are:
- A CNC Programmer looking to reduce programming time and simplify toolpaths
- A Machinist or Setup Lead dealing with complex setups and multiple repositionings
- A Shop Owner or Production Manager focused on improving machine utilization and throughput
- A 3-Axis Shop Considering 5-Axis but unsure how to make it practical and profitable
- A High-Mix / Low-Volume Shop trying to reduce setup time while keeping machines running
