Iron-based metallic glass alloys compatible with 3D printing reduce energy losses in electric motors by eliminating crystal structure friction.

Innovative materials could help to reduce the energy consumption of electrical devices, allowing drones to fly longer and e-bikes to travel further. By introducing components made from metallic glass ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have created a network of simple mechanical motors ...

MIT’s tool prints distinct materials to build a working motor ...

When you think of glass, you probably picture something fragile and brittle, not a material built for high-stress electromechanical components. However, researchers at Germany's Saarland University ...

US researchers have built a 3D-printing platform that can fabricate fully functional electric machines in a single process. The system uses multimaterial extrusion to print complex devices made of ...

NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The ExOne Company (Nasdaq: XONE), the global leader in industrial sand and metal 3D printers using binder jetting technology, is collaborating with ...

MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can produce a fully functioning electric linear motor in about three hours for 50 cents in materials. Linear motors are typically used in optical systems and ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

Last summer, Porsche started experimenting with 3D-printed pistons. The results were impressive, as the automaker was able to design a piston that weighed 10% less than a conventional forged unit, ...

MIT researchers developed a 3D-printing platform that can utilize multiple functional materials to fully print a complex electronic device, like an electric linear motor, in a matter of hours.
