Verdict
Pick by part size. The UMC-1500-Duo is for job shops and aerospace subcontractors that want one machine for long 3-axis plates and fixtures plus 5-axis contoured parts, with 60 in (1,524 mm) of X travel and 30 hp. The UMC-400 is for small 5-axis parts such as medical implants, dental components and prototypes that fit within 17 in (432 mm) of X travel, where a 15 hp spindle is enough.
