Major Frame Type
- Selected - Mobile gantry design (XYZ all linked) allows tremendous scaling potential.
- Mobile bed (X alone, YZ linked) requires a greater non-axis frame to support both X and YZ; scales ineffectively.
Minor Frame Type
- Selected - Blocks on plate (Non-axis frame is a plate; X axis begins with 4 blocks on this plate)
Axis Drive
- Selected - Stepper motors provide high resolution in a simple open-loop system
- AC or DC motors with encoders necessitate complex closed-loop control systems
