Overcoming 3D-Printer Challenges, MIT Produces an Electric Motor in Just 3 Hours
A broken motor can bring an automated machine factory to a halt—and instead of ordering a replacement part that could take days or weeks to arrive, with costly production delays, it may soon be easier, faster, and much cheaper to make a new motor onsite. MIT researchers announced on Wednesday that they have developed a […] The post Overcoming 3D-Printer Challenges, MIT Produces an Electric Motor in Just 3 Hours appeared first on Good News Networ…
3D printing has developed strongly in recent years. Now MIT surprises with a new manufacturing process to print even small electrical components. This could simplify the production process of many devices in the future. What has the university developed? In a research work by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and in a contribution on the MIT website, the institute presented a new 3D printer. Unlike conventional variants, this print…
MIT 3D prints a working electric motor in 3 hours with a new multi-material 3D printer
New Delhi: A machine failure on a production line can turn into a costly scramble. MIT researchers are now pitching a way to cut that delay, by 3D-printing complete electric machines on-site, instead of waiting on shipments and suppliers. The team says its new multimaterial printing platform can fabricate complex hardware in one build, using multiple materials and tool heads. The work, highlighted by MIT on February 18, is getting fresh attentio…
MIT’s New 3D Printer Makes A Working Electric Motor In Hours For Just 50 Cents
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a 3D printing platform capable of producing a fully functional electric motor in a single integrated process. The breakthrough shows that a linear motor can be printed in roughly three hours and only requires magnetization after printing to operate. Even more striking, the material cost per […] The post MIT’s New 3D Printer Makes A Working Electric Motor In Hours For Just 50…
MIT-developed 3D printer can output a fully functional electric motor in a single process — team only needed to magnetize the linear motor after printing, motors cost just 50 cents each
A team of researchers from MIT built a 3D printer that can economically print a fully functioning linear motor, with magnetization of the magnetic parts the only required step after printing.
