Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
3D printing has shown much promise as a method of rapidly manufacturing lightweight ironless motors to meet the growing demand that airlines have for more cost-effective products that reduce emissions and flight prices. 3D-printed ironless, axial flux, electric BLDC motors would meet these needs with both their high efficiency and power density.
A Halbach array motor was designed and 3D-printed for the analysis of its magnetic properties to gain more insight about it performance. Fusion 360 was used to design the 3D drawings of the motor parts. The rotor, stator, and stator mount were designed to accommodate the sizes of …
