The Solution A solution based on Vicor’s Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) was implemented, with a PRM regulator module (weighing 15g; measuring 32.3 x 21.8 x 6.48mm) and a VTM current multiplier at the point-of-load (weighing 14.5g; measuring 32.3 x 21.8 x 6.48mm). The Customer's Challenge Industrial 3D printer manufacturers are competing to increase file-to- finished-part speed and accuracy. A customer we were working with was exploring how they could make relatively small changes to their industrial 3D printer design to improve both speed and accuracy, without relying on a new, disruptive design of the whole system. Working with Vicor FAEs, it became clear that changing the way the printer was powered could
