Linear axis systems are an essential feature in 3D printers. Bahr linear axes are used in a challenging environment that calls for a high level of positioning and repeat accuracy. the linear systems must achieve a high level of dynamism – and that in non-stop, 24/7 operation. Service life therefore really counts in additive manufacturing, as do operational reliability and drive performance.

Above all, it is linear axes with spindle drive and nubbed belts, that, with their precision and excellent rolling characteristics, determine quality in 3D printing. Additive manufacturing is used when the limits of conventional processes have been reached.
The method is used to produce delicate components from various material powders with layer thicknesses ranging from 0.015 to 0.1 millimeter. that are easy to integrate and that waste no space.
