German startup Additive Drives has secured 25 million Euro to scale its 3D-printed electric motor technology that reduces energy losses by up to 70 percent. By printing high-purity copper windings, they reach 98 percent efficiency, effectively hitting the IE7 performance level. This shifts the industrial paradigm toward magnet-free designs, reducing rare-earth dependency for aerospace and automotive sectors. As motors consume 53 percent of global electricity, this is a massive systemic leap for decarbonization. 🚀 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #EV #Sustainability #CleanTech
