His initial version uses an Arduino with stepper drivers, and is designed to fit onto the end of a 60mm arm of a standard 3-axis CNC, so technically it’s a 3+2 axis CNC.

This 5-axis CNC router could soon be an open source tool. [Mike Calvino] built it for the School of Architecture at the University of Arkansas. It can be used as a router or as a plasma cutter/weld… ...

All 4 stepper motors (2x Y-axis, 1x X-axis and 1x Z-axis) get their power and movement instructions from the Arduino + CNC shield that in a later step will be attached in the small electronic box.

A 5-axis CNC machine has five axes: X, Y, Z, A, and B, with the A and B axes being rotary axes that allow the machine to rotate around the X and Y axes.

So in this post I an going to cover all points like hardware assembly, code for arduino, processing GUI, G-code generation etc. So before moving further let me brief you about what is CNC plotter ...

Watch CNC machines with their 5-axis configuration on Interesting Engineering. Explore the latest in technology, science, and engineering videos. Informative and inspiring content awaits!

An interesting Arduino project has been published to the Instructables website showing how an Arduino CNC shield and controller has been used to create an awesome 3 axis Arduino CNC plotter. The ...

The proprietary control of CNC machines results in the inability to control and enhance inputs because the program codes cannot be modified owing to their distribution by vendors in the compiled form.
