Take 3D printing to the next level

Having a precise and reliable 3D printer is no longer enough.

The 3D printing environment is changing

In the life cycle of a technology, there‘s always a gap to bridge between the initial enthusiasm of hobbyist and the mass market. 3D printing has reached this crucial point, maturing into a technology that is accessible to consumers.

While early adopters are willing to accept some technological flaws, end-consumers want a perfect product that’s easy to use. The result is an increasing demand for small, dynamic, and energy-efficient 3D printers that have silent motors and can operate for hours on a desk unnoticed. Trinamic has developed a family of products which not only meets these demands, but also ensures easier development for future generations.

3D Printer Noise is still a Problem

These are just a few of the complaints on the RepRap forum, one of many used by the 3D printing community to discuss 3d printing and to find the best solutions for silent motor control:

"When printing at low speeds the whole thing vibrates and makes noise." the_digital_dentist – RepRap Forum
"Every decent sized stepper I've seen always makes noise." cdru – RepRap Forum
"I hadn't anticipated that they would be so noisy, is this normal?" plankton – RepRap Forum
"3D printers are loud to the point it make them hard to be in the same room with while doing anything productive." Trexation – RepRap Forum
"I already managed to reduce the noice by finetuning stepper currents though according to my neighbour it's still to loud." BackEMF – RepRap Forum

Most drivers controlling motors of 3D printers have a distorted current sine wave, generating an audible “humming” noise. Trinamic’s solutions minimize current fluctuation, resulting in a cleaner and smoother sine wave. Silent 3D printing motors don’t only lead to fewer complaints, they also lead to better 3D printers.

Silent printers

Whether it's at home or at work, people prefer silent motors over noisy ones

Smooth operation

A current loop closer to a perfect sine wave allows for smoother motion control.

Precise positioning

Less vibrations and improved control over the axes result in a more precise print.

Innovative technologies - easy to use

Not only the market is changing – design processes are changing as well. Engineers deal with increasing time pressure, smaller teams and smaller budgets while meeting higher and higher demands. Trinamic’s innovative plug-and-play solutions meet these new challenges.

Building Blocks - Embedded Motion Control

Overall processing tasks have become heavier and more complex than ever before. The increasingly smaller and more powerful motors of 3D printers require extremely accurate motion control. Trinamic’s building blocks combine several features into a single package. Enriched with peripherals and embedded complex software, they offer the complete plug-in solution.

  • less space needed
  • compatible with most systems
  • software in silicon
  • state-of-the-art technology
  • plug-and-play
  • shorter time-to-market

TMC2100 with SilentStepStick - the community's favorite

"They are really nice drivers and I’m really looking forward to seeing 3D printers, or even new integrated 3D printer electronics pop up that use these new chips or driver modules." Thomas Sanladerer, 3D printing expert and YouTuber

Trinamic’s TMC2100 is renowned in the 3D printing community for its ability to turn 3D printers into silent machines with smooth motor control. Following its success, Trinamic improved the concept by developing the TMC2130 and TMC2208.
