multiaxis

Many rotational planes

Multiaxis describes something involving or operating along multiple axes simultaneously.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: a multiaxis CNC machine can cut material from several angles, a multiaxis gyroscope measures rotation in three dimensions.

In broader use, multiaxis can describe any system with several independent directions of movement or measurement.
