In cnc milling, what does it mean when motors are in parallel?

I need more torque from the motors in my cnc machine and can only go up to 3 amps. What does it mean when the motors are in series or parallel or unipolar?

CNC motors are stepping motors
if wired in parallel they will step equally

they cannot be wired in series!
unipolar and bipolar is something else
it relates to the driver and the winding of he motors

to get more torque you need a bigger motor and bigger driver
Or to gear down!
