motors for FDM extruder head

Dear rpml members,

I find cable and pulley drive for the X and Y motion of the
extruder head. The z-stage platen moves by four power screws.

Which motors do they use for the head movement: servo or stepper?
Whether power is on all the power screws or only on few of them.
I think all the four power screws must be rotated for the
movement of the platen.

I am doing stochastic modeling of the RP processes and need to
understand the mechanisms.

Eagerly waiting for ur response.

regards,
Sanat
