If the safety precautions are not observed, it may lead to hazardous conditions and result
in personal injury or damage to property.
3.1.1 Function description
This instruction manual describes the proper use of the machine.
The BOD2 is a modular gantry-based 3D construction printer. The BOD 2 printer is built from 2.5m modules
and can be built to customer specifications.
The BOD2 printer works in 3 dimensions, with the print head moving on the X-axis, the X-axis bar moving
on the Y-axis and the whole XY-group moving up and down on the 4 Z-columns. The gantry principle allows
the printer to access any position within the print envelope and gives complete freedom of movement
within the volume.
3.1.2 Machine construction
The BOD2 is designed as a stand-alone unit consisting of several integrated units and components:
• Four Z-columns (legs), height = 10 m, 4 servomotors, drivers included.
• Two Y-axis, length = 10 m, 2 servomotors, drivers included.
• One X-axes, width = 10 m, 1 servomotor, drivers included.
• One print head, 2 servomotors, drivers included.
(One for turning the nozzle and one for controlling the material flow)
• Control cabinet with supply disconnector, electrical equipment, 3D print controller and safety PLCs.
