Machine Tools currently on the market are traditionally split into 3 main categories, milling, turning and grinding, plus the newer category of additive manufacturing, with a limited number of machine designs that offer a cross-over between 2 of these categories, for example mill/turn, mill/grind, turn/mill and now mill/additive. All these cross-over designs have significant limitations to their versatility mainly due to the standard format of the basic machine. i.e. a standard format 5-axis milling machine has limited turning capability due to the turning tool being held in the milling spindle. Furthermore, limitations are found in many designs in the way that the tool spindle is moved around in order to achieve the full extent of the 5-axis milling capability, requiring large linear movements to create a relatively small change in angle or rotary position.The aim of this project is to prove out and identify the strengths and weaknesses of a machine design concept that addresses these limitations in a way which, while embracing established machine tool design and construction techniques, provides a game changing solution facilitating extremely flexible high speed 5 axis milling, accurate medium and low speed turning, versatile cylindrical grinding and 3D printing / additive manufacturing capabilities in a single highly efficient, versatile, flexible and maintainable unit.

目前市场上的机床传统上分为3个主要类别，铣削，车削和磨削，以及较新的增材制造类别，有限数量的机器设计提供了其中两个类别之间的交叉，例如铣削/车削，铣削/磨削，车削/铣削和现在的铣削/添加剂。所有这些交叉设计都对其通用性有很大的限制，主要是由于基本机器的标准格式。即，标准格式的5轴铣床由于车削刀具被保持在铣削主轴中而具有有限的车削能力。此外，在许多设计中，为了实现5轴铣削能力的全部范围，刀具主轴的移动方式存在局限性，需要大的线性运动来产生相对较小的角度或旋转位置变化。本项目的目的是证明并确定机床设计概念的优点和缺点，以解决这些局限性，同时采用成熟的机床设计和构造技术，提供了一种改变游戏规则的解决方案，在一个高效、多功能、灵活和可维护的单元中实现了极其灵活的高速5轴铣削、精确的中低速车削、多功能外圆磨削和3D打印/增材制造功能。
