MIT Develops 3D Printing Platform to Transform Manufacturing of Electric Machines
MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories unveiled a multimaterial 3D‑printing platform that integrates four extrusion heads to deposit conductive, magnetic and insulating feedstocks in a single build. The system printed a fully functional electric linear motor in roughly three hours with only one magnetisation step, achieving performance on par with traditionally manufactured units. Material costs are estimated at about $0.50 per device, suggesting a drastic reduction in production expense. Researchers say the technology could shift manufacturing from centralized factories to on‑site, rapid‑fabrication cells.
