Agriculture
This is used to water crops when it doesn’t rain.
Irrigation
A robot uses this to detect light, sound, or movement.
Sensor
CNC machines are controlled by this type of computer instruction.
G-Code
This melts plastic and places it in layers.
Extruder
You change this fluid to keep the engine running smoothly.
Oil
Natural or chemical substance added to soil.
Fertilizer
Robots often follow this step-by-step set of instructions.
Algorithm
This is the spinning part that cuts material.
Spindle
This 3D file type is required to print a model.
STL file
This is where the engine’s heat goes to cool down.
Radiator
Repeating this process improves soil and plant health.
Crop Rotation
This is the part of a robot that provides movement.
Motor
This computer software helps design parts before machining.
CAD
This is the plastic “ink” used in 3D printers.
Filament

Coolant
A farming method that reduces soil damage.
No-till farming
The “brain” of a robot, often Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
Microcontroller
This speed setting controls how fast material is removed.
Feed rate
This determines how solid or hollow a 3D print is.
Infill
This part starts your car’s engine with an electric spark
Spark plug
Decomposed organic material for enriching soil.
Compost
This is the framework or “skeleton” of a robot.
Chassis
This machine removes material using a rotating cutter.
Mill
This software slices your 3D model into layers for printing.
