The conventional CNC machines are based on known design solutions in which the main production material is steel. At present, the field of material engineering has a wide range of new materials which raises the question of whether these materials can be used as a design element for CNC machines. At the same time, it is necessary to aware that...

 When designing machines that contain dynamic components, it is necessary to consider the tribological properties of the materials used for the functional parts of these components. The movement itself during the operation of the machines has a mechanical impact on these parts, which may result in the performance of the mechanism being affecte...
