When desktop 3D printers and mid-size additive manufacturing systems were used primarily for prototyping parts, the common motor that delivered motion was a stepper motor. Brushless dc electric stepper motors have been the industry standard for 3D printing motion control. These motors divide a full rotation of the motor into equal steps. But stepper motors … Continue reading The Right Motor Makes a Difference
