Tools are the transformers which couple our imagination to reality. CoreXY provides a fundamental building block of many computerized fabrication tools - cartesian motion - in a simple and adaptable format. CoreXY is a technique, not an implementation. We sketch the concept and give a few examples as a platform that enables you to build new tools that are as unique as your ideas. Fast. We ...

This reference mechanism is functionally identical to the last figure in the prior section. Two additional pulleys have been added to shift the belt cross-over outside of the working envelope.

CoreXY: WATERJET ALUMINUM r1 July 2011 A notebook-sized implementation of CoreXY with a work area of 4x6". The structure is comprised of three nesting components waterjet cut from 3/16" aluminum. Assembly time for this prototype was quite short at about 45 minutes, once all of the parts were fabricated. This basic design could be extended into different materials such as plywood and acrylic ...

CoreXY: Waterjet Aluminum Revision 1 This is the first version of CoreXY designed with precision guides to allow it to position accurately under load. Owing to the tools readily available at MIT, it was built from a single sheet of aluminum plate that was cut on a waterjet. Several additional components were laser-cut from acrylic sheet. Assembly was …

CoreXY was conceived of as an independent project, owing to the author's initial ignorance of the subject. However a growing list of prior art is being unearthed which shares interesting similarities to and differences from the mechanism proposed here. A list of this work, as well as any known projects which incorporate CoreXY, is below. Help me add to …

Bot of the Cloth: A Flexible CNC Machine This device was created for New Textiles, a class at the MIT Media Lab. The goal was to create a machine that could be used to plot large clothing patterns on sheets of fabric as a way of making it easier to share clothing designs online. The CoreXY mechanism made it possible to construct the …
