3D Printing isn’t just about photorealistic bulldogs, beautiful jewelry and iPhone cases, it is also a way to design, prototype and produce more complex products by integrating other components. Check out this working stepper motor constructed around a Shapeways 3D printed frame along with some nails, magnet wire, neodymium magnets and a digispark microcontroller.
If a simple motor can be constructed, what is the next step? (pun intended)
If copper will be available for 3D printing…
Wind turbines in every home :)?
yes imagine
wow , way cool , the coiling could also be produced with a 5 axis CNC …..
Revolutionary!
Next step, open source robotic automation?
