Important results from the project
Hagnesia, with the help of Rise, designed a section of the rotor in Hagnesia´s electric machine that was lighter and more robust than previous solutions. Such a section was also built with satisfactory results.
Both goals of the project was fulfilled: to design a section of the rotor that was lighter, more robust and simpler to manufacture than earlier designs and to manufacture such a testsection.
Expected long term effects
The scope of the project was of course limited, but we see two long-term effects. One is that the contacts made with Rise will lead to future collaborations and opportunities to produce lightweight solutions in our machines with high quality thanks to their knowledge that they share. The other is that we have found a new solution to the design of our rotor disc, which provides suitable motors for aviation but also other applications.
Approach and implementation
Rise took the initiative to change the arrangement so that we used personnel from Mölndal instead of from Compraser Labs as was originally planned, since Mölndal had stronger expertise for this job. Since the two parties were geographically close to each other, we did not have longer conferences but several smaller ones. Otherwise, the plan was followed. We first investigated a number of solution options for the rotor disc, of which one was selected. Then it was manufactured.
