FEM Simulation and Analysis of a Concept 3D Printed Electric Motor with Permanent Magnets

The increased popularity of FDM printers expands the possibilities of manufacturing components and devices that were only possible by institutions with specialized equipment. Although not perfect in every sense, the 3D printed objects are promising supplementation for student projects that previously were only ending at the design stage. The possibility of designing and creating a functional rotating electrical machine is explored in the following paper. The material properties are derived from the measurements that allow for numerical simulations that reveal some features of such created devices.
