Z-AXIS SCREW
the screw which is responsible for the platform’s vertical motion. It is driven by a stepper motor placed
under the bottom plate. The Z-axis screw constitutes an integral part of the platform moving system.
ZCODE
a le format which contains a model prepared for 3D printing with previously selected print settings
(such as layer thickness, inll type, etc.). All print settings can be managed in Z-SUITE before generating the
.zcode. The .zcode format can only be created by saving an .stl / .dxf / .obj / .3mf le in Z-SUITE.
Z-SUITE
the application created specically for Zortrax devices. Z-SUITE prepares a model for 3D printing by
generating the .zcode le. Z-SUITE allows the users to change and adjust the print settings, such as
the size of the model, layer thickness, the type of inll, or how many support structures will be gener-
ated. Once the .zcode le is generated, the print settings cannot be changed. The last step is to save
the .zcode onto an SD card and then the model is ready to be printed.
