About DMS
Diversified Machine Systems was founded in 1996 by Patrick Bollar in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where all engineering, fabrication, and machine assembly still takes place today. Drawing on decades of machine tool design experience, the founders built DMS into a recognized American original equipment manufacturer whose machines are trusted by Fortune 500 companies and specialty shops alike. The company received the Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance Excellence in Manufacturing Award in 2013 and was named a Colorado Company to Watch in 2014.
DMS produces a full line of 3-axis and 5-axis CNC routers and machining centers organized across several product families. The 505 Series represents the company's workhorse 5-axis platform, available in a range of table sizes and Z-stroke configurations with moving-table or moving-gantry architectures and Fagor CNC controls. The Freedom Series covers 3-axis production routers in multiple bed sizes, while the Essentials line scales up to heavy-duty 5-axis continuous-use machining centers with oversized bridges and linear rails. Newer named models include the Glacier5, Teton5, and Redwood5 5-axis platforms, as well as a Hybrid line that integrates additive and subtractive manufacturing on the same frame. All machines feature stress-relieved all-steel frames, recirculating ball screw drives, and profiled linear guideways.
DMS serves a broad cross-section of manufacturing industries, with aerospace, automotive, and advanced composites accounting for the majority of its installed base. Additional end markets include marine, recreational vehicles, military and defense, formed plastics, pattern making, and custom woodworking. The machines are routinely specified for trimming carbon fiber and fiberglass layups, machining aluminum structural components, routing foam tooling masters, and processing mixed-material stacks in a single setup.
Buyers seeking used DMS CNC routers on the secondary market consistently cite the brand's all-steel construction and conservative engineering tolerances as reasons machines remain productive well beyond their original service life. Fagor and Fanuc control platforms are widely supported, keeping spare parts and service technicians accessible. The 505 Series in particular holds strong resale value because its modular configuration options translate well across industries, and DMS maintains a complete spare parts inventory that simplifies long-term ownership of older machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dms known for?
Dms, short for Diversified Machine Systems, is best known for manufacturing heavy-duty 3-axis and 5-axis CNC routers built entirely in Colorado Springs, USA. The company's machines are widely recognized for their all-steel stress-relieved frames, precision ball screw drives, and ability to cut demanding materials including composites, carbon fiber, aluminum, plastics, and foam.
What industries use Dms CNC routers?
Dms CNC routers are used across aerospace, automotive, advanced composites, marine, military, recreational vehicles, formed plastics, and woodworking industries. Aerospace and automotive applications account for a significant share of the installed base, where machines are relied upon for tight-tolerance trimming of carbon fiber components and machining of aluminum structural parts.
What should I look for when buying a used Dms 5-axis CNC router?
When evaluating a used Dms 5-axis router, confirm the CNC control type — most machines ship with Fagor or Fanuc controllers, both of which have strong parts and support networks. Check the Z-stroke and table configuration against your material size requirements, and verify that the recirculating ball screws and linear guideways show normal wear, as these are the primary precision components on the machine.
