The DeskProto Multi-Axis edition is meant for users needing more than three
axes. Like modelmakers making complex models, jewelers needing a wax model,
artists for a sculpture that needs to be machined from all sides, etc.
The extra features that DeskProto Multi-Axis offers:
Continuous Rotation axis machining: during machining the part is rotated by the
machine's fourth axis.
Indexed Rotation axis machining: the fourth axis is used to machine the part
from several sides.
Five-axis machining (indexed): the model can be machined from almost all sides.
