From September 1–4 the International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM) took place in Torino. Part of the programme was a special session on “Advanced Manufacturability of Electrical Machines Enabled by 3D Printing Technology” co-chaired by Prof. Sergeant of Ghent University, supervisor of doctoral candidates Mohamed Reda and Akbar Ajamloo. The EMByAM consortium contributed three papers:
- “A Review on Properties of 3D Printed Magnetic Cores for Electrical Machines: Additive Manufacturing Methods and Materials” by Akbar Mohammadi Ajamloo, Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim and Professor Peter Sergeant of Ghent University
- “Topology Optimization for Enhancing Electric Machine Performance: A Review” by Mohamed Reda Mahmoud, Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim and Professor Peter Sergeant of Ghent University
- “Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces Structure for Efficient Heat Dissipation in Motor Housings: A Convective Potential Analysis” by Shaheer Ul Hassan, Mazahir Hussain Shah, Pavel Gruber and Miroslav Chomat of CARDAM and IT CAS.
Additional presentations and posters by others researchers demonstrated the increasing interest in the additive manufacturing of electrical machines. In general, the conference was a great opportunity for the participating EMByAM members to meet up in person, discuss their research and also get a look into other research projects on the topic of additive manufacturing of electrical machines.
