H3X leverages 3D printing to improve electric motor efficiency

March 31, 2021 | Case Study

Electric motors can hardly be considered a new technology, as the devices form a crucial link between mechanical and electrical energy in nearly all parts of the industrial world. However, despite their age, the push for electrification of transportation has created a need for improved electric motors. Arguably no industry has stricter needs than aviation, where increased demands are placed on reducing weight, improving low-RPM torque and efficiency, and adding layers of redundancy. To date, MagniX has stood out as one of the few startups focused specifically on aviation, but this week, H3X emerged from stealth mode with its own aviation-focused motor.
