Bed Level Adjustment Mechanisms

(Manual or Motorized)

Flat Beds. First-Try Success. Repeatable Quality.



In 3D printing, a level build surface is essential for proper first-layer adhesion and consistent part geometry. Manual or motorized bed level adjustment mechanisms allow users and automated systems to fine-tune the build platform’s position, correcting for tilt or unevenness that can compromise print results.



Helix Linear Technologies provides compact, high-precision lead screws and actuators tailored for both manual and automated bed leveling applications. Whether you need easy-to-adjust knobs with fine thread pitch or fully motorized systems integrated with sensors, Helix motion components deliver the precision and repeatability required for consistent layer placement every time.



Our designs are ideal for professional desktop printers, industrial FDM systems, and machines that require multi-zone or real-time leveling solutions.



Key Benefits:



  • Micro-adjustment capability for manual leveling with minimal drift



  • Motorized options support sensor-guided calibration systems



  • Custom screw lengths and threads for specific build platform geometries



  • Reduces first-layer failures, warping, and user intervention





Let Helix help you build smarter, more reliable printers with bed leveling mechanisms engineered to set a solid foundation for every print.

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.
