Unexpected efficiency beyond the wire
Taking electric motors to the next level. Additive Drives is proud to power the next phase in drive evolution: highly efficient 3D-printed windings for electric motors.
„We have reached electrical conductivity of 100% IACS“, says Additive Drives co-founder Axel Helm in reference to the industry-applied International Annealed Copper Standard.
The 3D printing of electric motor components introduces a new era of electric motor efficiency. Our focus is on copper windings, the main component of every electric motor.
Streamlining the production process with CAD data directly from designers enables shorter development and test cycles..
The drive tasks of the future, whether in industry or traffic, place high demands on individual components. Manufacturing copper coils using 3D printing enhances their performance and efficiency. A higher copper content in electric motors, achievable with our manufacturing process chain, reduces losses and improves the thermal coupling of the winding.
