4 axis CNC router gives more flexibility to an artist for creating 3D objects, because some area in 3D shapes and rotary objects are not reachable with ordinary 3 axis machine. In fact an extension would be added to Y axes to reach the rotary axes area for 3D objects processing. As a result, this machine can be used for ordinary flat and 2D jobs with vacuum table, too.

Multi head 4 axis CNC router is also described here

3D design Software

With the recent developments in 3D design software like Carveco is very easy to generate G codes needed for any CNC router.

Applications

This machine can be used in signage like artistic columns, face generation and creative wooden staircases.
