Machine zero point
Term · Additive manufacturing and 3D printing · MLC-T-ADM-000213
The absolute reference point (0,0,0) within the 3D printer's internal coordinate system, which serves as the basis for all positional calculations. This point is established during the homing process, where the printer's axes move to trigger limit switches. It defines the physical boundaries and operational space for the print head and build platform.
