MODELLING, APPLICATION & IMPLEMENTATION
T
he main goal of this research is to minimize the critical
materials waste associated with NdFeB based permanent
magnet manufacturing and reduce the overall cost. One of
the ways in which we can achieve this goal is by using additive
manufacturing techniques to create different shapes and
complex geometries of bonded magnets without the need
for tooling. We have recently demonstrated the fabrication
of near-net shape magnets with complex geometries and
high energy product using > 65 vol % MQP NdFeB nylon
composites using Big Area Additive Manufacturing System.
We will report in detail about the relationship between
the processing, microstructure and property of additively
printed bonded magnets.
