More Ways to Machine Complex Components
Designed for manufacturers producing parts that need multi-angle tool access and advanced 3D machining.
Reduce repeated setups
Machine more faces with fewer manual workpiece repositioning and re-fixturing stages.
Production-ready hardware
Hiteco spindle, Syntec control and a 12-position carousel help support demanding multi-tool machining.
Materials & Applications
From complex moulds and precision parts to three-dimensional surfaces, the Lotus is configured for specialist work.
Complex 3D formsDetailed contours, curved surfaces and intricate shapes
Moulds & patternsTooling patterns and specialist mould-making
Precision componentsMulti-face parts and detailed production pieces
Specialist materialsSuitable wood, aluminium, plastics and composites
Material suitability, tooling, workholding and CAD/CAM requirements depend on the application. Our team can advise.
Understanding 5-Axis Machining
Five-axis routing provides more freedom to machine complex parts while reducing the need to reset workpieces for each face.
Multi-angle tool access
Additional rotational movement allows the cutting tool to approach difficult geometry beyond standard X, Y and Z movement.
Advanced 3D toolpaths
Fusion 360 CAD/CAM workflows and suitable post-processing support detailed and simultaneous multi-axis operations.
Precision production
A moving-table and stationary-gantry design, alongside dedicated 5-axis control, supports repeatable component machining.
Final tooling, post-processing, machining capability and site specifications should be confirmed for your chosen Lotus configuration.
Find the Right Lotus Size
Six standard working areas, plus bespoke options. We can recommend a size around your component dimensions and production requirements.
Across the range: 11kW Hiteco water-cooled spindle, 12-position ISO30 carousel ATC, Syntec 5-axis control, Fusion 360 workflow support and three-phase power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about software, training, power supply, tooling and available Lotus sizes.
What makes the Lotus a 5-axis CNC router?
In addition to X, Y and Z movement, the Lotus supports additional rotational axes for simultaneous multi-angle machining of complex 3D components.
What software does the Lotus work with?
The Lotus supports Fusion 360 CAD/CAM workflows. Opus provides machine and software training and guidance on appropriate post-processing.
Is delivery, installation and training included?
Yes. Delivery, installation and machine and software training are included, subject to suitable access and agreed installation requirements.
Does the Lotus require three-phase power?
Yes. The Lotus 5-axis range requires three-phase electricity; a single-phase configuration is not available.
