With the increasing popularity of 3D printing technology, every once in a while, you can hear or see news about 3D printing, and recently, 3d printing related information has emerged one after another, for example, 3d printable bridges have opened in Shanghai, 3d printable puppet shows have been well received by audiences, Adidas has launched 3d printed sunglasses, and so on. 

     And this 3-d printing application case that the small editor wants to share with everybody appears to be on the high side. Researchers at the St. Thomas University have used an advanced FDM 3d printer to create transformer cores that look like doughnuts, in a study published in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, the title is 3D printed magnetic polymer composite transformer. It is well known that the core is the main magnetic circuit of the transformer. It and the coil on it form a complete electromagnetic induction system, and the transmission power of the transformer depends on the core material and cross-sectional area. In order to reduce the intelligent cost of transformer Iron core and improve the performance of transformer Iron core, the researchers selected Proto-Pasta's "Rustable Magnetic Iron" wire, a kind of PLA wire with Iron injection, and with the help of 3D printing to create a complex ring shape. 

     When it comes to 3D printing technology, its development and popularity can not be offset by other related technologies, such as linear motor technology, which has been heavily introduced into 3d printing equipment as a driving device as a direct drive technology, with the help of linear motor, the speed and precision of 3D printing equipment have been greatly improved. 

     Kunshan's main products include linear motors, Voice Coil Motors and system integration, in which LINEAR motors include no iron core U Slot and have iron core flat two categories, are widely used in all walks of life.
