AMPERE - Additive Manufacturing for Power-dense Electric motor Enhancements

该项目旨在利用添加剂制造(AM)来解决当前电机设计中的关键问题，以实现功率密度的阶跃变化。该财团将建立在Equipmake现有的同类领先电机架构的基础上，并利用转子和定子组件的定向冷却。HiETA带来了他们在热管理和添加剂制造方面的专业知识，Altair开发了他们的多学科优化工作流程。该财团将在Equipmake测试设施内的一个试验台上开发和运行一个原型系统。

This project aims to utilise Additive Manufacturing (AM) to address the key issues with current electric motor design to deliver step changes in power density. The consortium will build upon the existing class-leading motor architectures from Equipmake and utilise targeted cooling of rotor and stator components. HiETA bring their expertise in thermal management and additive manufacturing, with Altair developing their multi-disciplinary optimisation workflows. The consortium will develop and run a prototype system on a bench test station within Equipmake test facilities.
