Accelerating E-Motor Innovations
Our Technology Edge
-
Aluminum is lighter, more affordable, and a non-critical raw material. Aluminum windings can outperform copper in high speed applications.
-
3D printing technology enables design freedom, cost-effective small-series production, and scalability without tooling investment — especially viable due to our use of aluminum.
-
Shape First, Coat After: Our proprietary coating is applied after the winding is shaped, ensuring a defect-free dielectric layer. This results in longer-lasting insulation and higher reliability under electrical stress.
Impactful Results
-
Drive13 motors achieve market-leading power density in high-frequency applications, enabled by optimized designs and the intrinsic advantage of aluminum’s lower AC losses compared to copper.
-
Our choice for aluminium offers the quickest and most affordable path to functional prototypes, due to our use of additive manufacturing and the absence of tooling costs. Drive13 will turn your innovative concept into an affordable reality.
-
Drive13 only applies its proprietary coating in the final production step, eliminating the introduction of mechanical stresses. In doing so, we can produce long-lasting windings, free from microcracks and partial discharges, a critical benefit for aerospace and other high-reliability sectors.
-
Upscaling from prototyping to series production is as simple as repeating the prototyping phase without time loss, without technological concessions, and without any compromise in the cost.
