From 3-Axis to 5-Axis in 6 Months: Edgar’s Journey with the Matsuura MX-330 PC10
At Continental Machining Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the team believes in giving people the tools and support to grow. That belief paid off when Edgar Zamora, a young machinist with only 3-axis experience, stepped up to one of the most advanced machines in the shop, the Matsuura MX-330 PC10.
With no 5-axis background, Edgar was challenged to learn fast and produce results. He did both. In just six months, he became one of the shop’s most efficient operators, confidently running the MX-330 PC10 with precision, speed, and a deep understanding of the FANUC control.
“It’s a dream come true… and help from Matsuura is just a call away.”
The MX-330 PC10 is built for performance, and Edgar uses every advantage it offers. With 10 pallets and 90 tools, the machine gives him the flexibility to manage one-offs, urgent jobs, and long batch runs without stopping production. The interface is simple to navigate, and the automation allows for lights-out machining with full confidence in the results.
Matsuura’s commitment to support helped make the transition smooth. Whether it was learning to program or getting help with setup, Edgar knew he had a reliable partner behind the machine.
This is what Matsuura is all about, real-world reliability, smart design, and the ability to elevate both people and production. Edgar’s story is proof that when you combine talent with the right equipment, great things happen.
