2 Mechanical Design Concept

Mechanical design concept.

One of the concepts to emphasize in the design of the machine in the use of the structure as a linear guide. The cars will move on the same structure using as element antifriction small segment of tribo filament. This filament is up to 50 times more abrasion-resistant than standard 3D print materials.

Here you can see the.Tribo filament data sheet.


The design of the machine allows it to widen the size of the machine.

Some structural parts are 3D printed.
