I’ve heard a lot about the advantages of 5 axis CNC machining, but not as much about the challenges. From your experience, what are the biggest issues—programming complexity, tool collisions, or machine maintenance? Also, how important is CAD/CAM software when working with 5-axis machines? Does it require specialized training compared to standard CNC operations?
