Additive Manufacturing of 3D Magnetic Circuits for Electrical Machines

Breaking Through the Barriers of Traditional Electrical Machine Design

For decades, electrical machine designers have been constrained by the fundamental limitations of electrical steel laminations—restricted to 2D geometries and unable to form the complex 3D magnetic circuits that could unlock unprecedented performance gains. The result? Compromised power density, significant eddy current losses, and machines that fall short of the demanding requirements for next-generation applications like aviation electrification.

What if we could build magnetic circuits in three dimensions?

This webinar reveals how additive manufacturing is transforming soft-magnetic material processing, finally making 3D magnetic circuits a practical reality. Discover how tailored geometries can dramatically reduce eddy currents while maintaining efficient magnetic pathways—opening the door to entirely new machine architectures that were previously impossible to manufacture.

Inspection of Additive Materials in Advanced 3D Printing

The rapid advancement of 3D printing technology has revolutionized manufacturing processes, enabling the creation of complex geometries and customized components with unprecedented precision. However, defects such as porosity, layer delamination, and material inconsistencies can compromise the structural integrity and performance of printed components. This study demonstrates the application of the Evident DSX2000 digital microscope for comprehensive inspection and analysis of additive materials and printed structures. The microscope's high-resolution imaging and advanced measurement capabilities enable detailed characterization of material microstructure, surface morphology, and defect detection, providing essential quality control for additive manufacturing processes.
