3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing



Custom Motion Components for 3D Printing OEMs



At Helix Linear Technologies, we don’t build the printers. We build the motion systems that make them print with accuracy, control, and reliability. Our lead screws, ball screws, linear actuators, and anti-backlash assemblies are engineered specifically for multi-axis motion in additive environments where micro-precision, stability, and repeatability are critical.



We collaborate closely with 3D printing OEMs to align motion solutions with machine architecture, material handling requirements, and performance specifications. From compact systems to production-scale AM equipment, our components are designed to minimize vibration, reduce backlash, resist wear, and maintain reliable motion throughout continuous or high-duty operation.



Key Benefits:



✦ Custom motion components engineered for high-precision X/Y/Z movement

✦ Optimized backlash control and smooth travel for superior print quality

✦ Materials and coatings designed to withstand heat, debris, and continuous duty cycles

✦ Scalable solutions supporting industrial AM, desktop printers, robotics-integrated systems, and automated post-processing

✦ Proven support for OEM innovation in polymer, metal, and hybrid manufacturing technologies



With Helix, you're not just purchasing motion parts. You're partnering with a motion engineering team that accelerates innovation, ensures repeatability, and strengthens your competitive edge in advanced additive manufacturing. Together, let’s build the motion that builds the future.
