Axescheck Today

In CNC machining or 3D printing, an "axes check" refers to verifying that X, Y, Z (and rotational axes) are homed, calibrated, and moving correctly. This is a standard maintenance step, not a software function.

Navigate to Viewport Overlays > Axes. This visual Axescheck lets you see global vs. local axes of any object. Pro tip: Append a simple cube and check its bounding box orientation. axescheck

For physical hardware, schedule an Axescheck routine every morning at 6 AM before production begins. Use a calibrated artifact (e.g., a 1-2-3 block) that the machine measures automatically. In CNC machining or 3D printing, an "axes
