The 3D-printed motor matched or outperformed comparable motors made with conventional manufacturing — and only cost 50 cents in materials.

The team, based at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, demonstrated the system by printing an electric linear motor – the type that generates straight-line motion instead of ...

MIT researchers have developed a multi-material 3D-printing platform that can be used to fully print electric machines in a ...

MIT engineers have 3D printed a working electric motor. That’s quite a feat because electric motors are made of metal and plastic, and most 3D printers can make objects in one or the other materials ...

As many would point out in the years to come—sure, they’d pass on hotwiring a car in their neighbor’s driveway, but they’d be ...

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a replacement part, they may have to order one from a distributor hundreds of ...

Ford Motor had six patents in 3D printing during Q2 2024. Ford Motor Co filed patents for an electric machine with a unique winding design, a gear forming tool with 3D printed cutting edges, an ...

Toyota Motor had nine patents in 3D printing during Q2 2024. The patent filed by Toyota Motor Corp in Q2 2024 describes a sensor with a grayscale digital light processing (g-DLP) 3D printed monolithic ...
