3D printing of rare-earth permanent magnets

Project: EU project

Project Details

Description

3DREMAG aims to up-scale and introduce to the market a 3D printable NdFeB powder. NdFeB magnets contain around 30 wt-% of Nd and Dy, both classified as critical raw materials by the EU. The developed powder enables 3D printing of optimized magnet configurations for e-drives needed in future mobility applications with reduced waste. This will be the first high performance spherical NdFeB powder in the market tailored for use in 3D printing.
