When, why, and how did the machines evolve from 3-axis to 4 & 5 axis? What are the advantages of the 4 th and 5 th axis? List a part that would be difficult to make without a 4 th and/or 5 th axis. What is the impact on society of adding these additional axes? In your responses to your classmates , address the following: Post replies in at least two other discussion threads. These replies should reflect genuine engagement and add value to the discussion. For example, ask questions, raise new issues, or give interpretations.
