It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

Abstract: Owing to their unique advantage of high torque capability at low-speed operation, vernier permanent magnet (VPM) motors are gaining increasing attention for direct-drive robotic actuation ...
