PrintStator enables engineers to rapidly design, model and prototype optimized printed-circuit-board stator motors to exact specifications, said Jake Bright, director of Communications and Investor Relations, ECM PCB Stator Technology. The company also developed a complementary software platform for designing purpose-built PCB stator motors suited to a variety of applications, such as robotics, medical devices or autonomous vehicles. It requires a significant amount of machining tools and design time.” You need that copper, but it’s extremely inefficient to wind it like this. It is the interaction of the copper and the magnets that creates the torque and speed. ![]() “For about 100 years, electric motors have evolved into these extremely bulky copper wire stators. “We’ve essentially innovated in the electric motor space,” said Ethan Frick, director, New Business Development, ECM PCB Stator Technology. The design is an improvement over its conventional copper-wound counterparts, stated subject matter experts who gave Machine Design a demonstration of the technology at Automate 2023 (booth #17). ![]() The Massachusetts-based start-up has developed a printed board stator that’s smaller than the average motor, achieves efficiencies as high as 96% and requires up to 70% less raw materials to produce. If the folks at ECM PCB Stator Technology have their say, applications for printed circuit board (PCB) stator motors will replace the bulky copper windings associated with electric motors.
