Design of High-End Synchronous Reluctance Motor Using 3-D Printing Technology

This paper contains the results of actually applying to motor development the 3-D printing technology, which is one of noteworthy technologies to lead industries in the future. The current level of 3-D printing technology was identified, synchronous reluctance motor was designed and fabricated on the basis of the technology, and experiment was carried out to verify the design and fabrication. The comparative analysis between the existing model and the proposed model was carried out by finite element method analysis and experiment, and it shows the possibility that 3-D printing technology can be applied to the motor industry.
