| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is well known for producing parts without any tooling required, offering a promising alternative to the conventional methods to fabricate near-net-shaped functional magnets. We will report our successful fabrication of Fe-3Si; Fe-6Si and FeCo soft magnets with properties comparable to that of traditionally made magnets using selective laser melting. We will also compare two different binders with material extrusion followed by compression molding, to determine their applicability in the fabrication of Nd-Fe-B bonded magnets. Prospects and challenges of these state-of-the-art technologies for large-scale industrial applications will be discussed.
