This laminated core limits the performance of the motor as it doesn&#8217;t allow a current to move in every direction. It also takes multiple steps to make it, hindering the production process. Persimmon Technologies simplifies the traditional method and claim improved performance using a spray-formed 3D printing technique.<\/p>\n<p>Spray-forming from Persimmon makes a winding core from consecutive layers of soft magnetic composite material. The metallic material is sprayed as droplets, making use of micro spaces in-between for insulation and lightness. As explained by Persimmon in a presentation at the 2016 ASME conference in North Carolina,<em> &#8220;the spray-formed soft magnetic material enables smaller, lighter motors with higher power output and better energy efficiency.&#8221; <\/em>The actual figures for a spray-formed motor, when compared to a conventionally made electric motor, results in approximately 40% higher power densities, with energy losses up to 15% lower.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_111112\" style=\"width: 834px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-111112 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/3dprintingindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-18-at-15.21.56.png\" alt=\"A cross section of a prototype hybrid-field motor developed by Persimmon Technologies.
