We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...

Instructables member Joehan has published details of a DIY electrostatic motor or “capacitor motor” that has been created using 3D printing and is capable of providing 2 Watt HV power. The DIY ...

What just happened? 3D printing has become very good at making shapes, but making complex machines with moving parts is where most printers tap out. MIT researchers, however, have developed a ...

A research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a 3D printing platform that can also process various electrically conductive materials. With it, they printed a ...

Stepper motor linear actuators provide thrust along a linear axis but cannot tolerate side loading. Supplemental guidance is needed to protect against external forces impacting the linear motion of ...

The tech behind 3D printing has come an extremely long way. The additive manufacturing technique, which generally involves depositing one layer at a time, has gone from relatively crude rapid ...
