The cost of a 5-axis CNC machine varies widely based on factors like machine type (e.g., router vs. milling center), size, precision, brand, automation features, and intended use (hobby, entry-level, or industrial). Prices can range from as low as $12,000 for basic desktop or hobby models to over $1.5 million for high-end industrial setups. Below is a breakdown by category, with typical ranges drawn from current 2025 market data.
Additional costs (not included in base prices) can add 10–30% more, such as software ($5,000–$20,000), tooling ($5,000–$50,000), installation, and training.
