Metal Additive Manufacturing in Power Electronics, Machines and Drives: Opportunities and Challenges - Dr. Nick Simpson

Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Berlin, 2024Presenter: Dr. Nick SimpsonOrganization: UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOLThe electrification of transport, in pursuit of Carbon Net Zero, is driving demand for a step change in the power-density of electrical machines. A viable route is to exploit the geometric freedom of metal additive manufacturing to realise next-generation electrical windings enabling targeted electromagnetic loss mitigation, integrated thermal management, and high-temperature insulation coatings. This talk will present some of the latest advances in the field of Additive Manufacturing in Electrical Machines and discuss some of the ongoing computational design challenges that the CDFAM community may be able to help with.The CDFAM Computational Design Symposium Series brings together leading experts from design, engineering, architecture, academia and software development for a series of knowledge sharing and networking events focusing on computational design at all scales.
