Preliminary Analysis of Soft Magnetic Material Properties for Additive Manufacturing of Electrical Machines

Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has the potential to revolutionize multiple fields of industry Defect formation is a common problem in all AM processes. For the applicability of this technology for manufacturing electrical machines, specific mechanical and electromagnetic properties of printed material are necessary. In this paper we present a literature review on the effects of production parameters on the printed material properties, alongside experimental results of printed electrical steel sample properties with default processing parameters.
