8.0 Supplementary Information
Calibration
The mostly automated process of adjusting soware/hardware
parameters in AutoMaker™ to take into account any dierences
in the manufacturing/assembly process of Robox®. See section
7.1.
Carriage
This refers to a moving assembly which is constrained to one
axis - Robox® has 3 - the Z carriage which holds the X motor and
rails, the X carriage that holds the print head, and the bed could
be described as the Y carriage.
Cartesian Axis
A coordinate system which describes the location of an object
in three dimensions perpendicular to each other - X, Y and Z.
Caustic Soda
See Sodium Hydroxide.
CNC
Abbreviation of Computer Numerical Control - controlling
motion using a computer which sends instructions as GCode.
Console
A means of entering CNC commands manually by sending
typed text instructions.
Delamination
A defect in a 3D printed object where layers have not correctly
fused together, resulting in a gap between layers. It can
be caused by underextrusion, incorrect material process
parameters or by excessive warping/shrinkage.
Dessicant
A chemical substance which absorbs moisture from the
surrounding environment.
Drive Screw
Also known as a lead screw, this is a thread which is used to
convert rotational motion (from a stepper motor) into linear
motion. In Robox®, drive screws are used to move the gantry up
and down.
Dual Extrusion
A type of 3D printing where two dierent materials can be
extruded on the same layer using two nozzles.
EEPROM
Abbreviation of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory - the type of memory (on a microchip) which is used to
store parameters in the printhead and SmartReel™.
Endstop
Also known as a limit switch, this refers to a microswitch which
is used to define the limits of a motion axes. Also see Homing.
Extrudate
This refers to material which has been extruded from one of the
nozzles on the printhead.
