ABOUT
The engineer behind Orbiter Projects
Róbert Lőrincz · Electronics engineer and 3D-printing enthusiast
From electronics to 3D printing
I’m Róbert Lőrincz, from Transylvania, Romania, with Hungarian roots. Electronics began as a lifelong hobby and became my profession.
My engineering background
I have over 20 years of experience designing automotive power electronics, including motor controllers, power supplies, DC/DC converters, and a wide range of power stages. My work also includes battery management circuits for battery-electric vehicles.
I hold a PhD in brushless DC motor control and have designed several ASIC architectures for BLDC motor-control applications. I have also authored patents in this field, bringing together research, circuit design, and practical engineering.
That background shapes how I approach Orbiter Projects: understanding the underlying physics, testing ideas through prototypes, and refining designs through measurement and experimentation.
How it started
My brother gave me an Anet A8 3D printer for Christmas. That gift started a journey of learning, experimentation, and design.
Why I share my work
I’ve learned a tremendous amount from the 3D-printing community. Sharing my own work is my way of giving something back.
