X, Y, and Z-axis Cutting Stage

The cutting stage provides a 12 in. (30 cm) (X-axis) by 12 in. (30 cm) (Y-axis) cutting envelope. The Z-axis allows manual up and down movements for cutting materials up to 1 in. (3 cm) thick.

The cutting stage uses the same grid and coordinate system as in the Intelli-MAX software. When looking down on the table, the X-axis runs left to right and the Y-axis runs front to back. The Z-axis allows vertical movement of the cutting head. When the ProtoMAX is homed, the nozzle is moved to the position X=0 and Y=0 coordinate at the lower left corner of the cutting envelope.
