3Axis mimic 5Axis?

[Genopsyism]

Which software can make my 3Axis CNC produce 5Axis results? No really, I'm being serious. I'd like to have software create 4 GCode files on a single object. Each would be processed in turn such that a woodblock could be positioned on its front, back, left, and right and the respective file could be processed to ultimately render a 3D Object. The woodblock would have to be mounted in a way that the 4 rotations could be predicted but that wouldn't be hard to solve.

Does such a thing exist?

Thanks,
Andy

how about you just use any old cam, then use some kind of rotation command, which most cam can do. then you define your zeros correctly and align and fixture your part correctly (handwavingly saying this which is the hardest part), then make a nc file for each rotation. You will get 5 axis camming this way.

SHOW US THE PART, USUALLY NO PROBLEM TO GET RESULTS, DONE 5AXIS ON 3 MACHINES MANY TIMES.

I have a manual process for doing this but it add 10 minutes per size due to the extra workflow involved in manually flattening vertices on the opposite side. I was looking for software that could save me time.
