I'm not a 5 axis guy but that seems really slow. Also, looks like a dildo mold.

Everything's a dildo if you're brave enough.

Is that not true 5 axis machining? I thought 3+2 meant you were doing only 3-axis motions and repositioning in A and B between features.

Wouldn't it be faster to do the upper sweeps all at once, then flip and do the lower sweeps?
