The accurate term can be used when a 3D printed object respects the size of the CAD model.
Whereas the precise term can be used when more printed objects are very similar to each other.
It is easy to recognize the subtle boundary between the two words which are synonymous in everyday use, but in the technical jargon, and therefore in the world of 3D printing, they are words that have a connection but a different meaning.
To better understand the difference we give you an example. The pictures presented in the gallery exactly defines the relationship between accuracy and precision: the accuracy is the ability to produce an object, having dimensions equal to those of the CAD model; the precision is the ability to get different objects that are as much as possible similar to each other in terms of dimensions.
In order to get precise objects, Roboze has patented a new system: the Beltless System; this system guarantees precision and accuracy in printing and, in terms of productivity, the repeatability of the printed parts, thanks to the use of steel racks. Other machines, in fact, use rubber belts, which can alter the final result, because of their nature that tends to cause distortion and wear.
