Purpose and goal
The project aims to investigate the feasibility of an innovative approach to fabricate permanent magnet components, a critical part in many electrical applications, through an indirect additive manufacturing (AM) technique called metal extrusion printing. In this respect, the project objectives are: - Realizing the feasibility of manufacturing permanent magnets via 3D printing - Utilizing the results of the feasibility study for step 2 of the program
Expected effects and result
1) Know-how to create permanent magnet feedstock 2) Knowledge of the feasibility to 3D print magnets 3) Know-how of the achievable properties 4) Roadmap to future: new design, recycling, materials, etc.
Planned approach and implementation
1) Creating feedstock material 2) Developing machine and processing parameters 3) Analysis and testing the magnets
