3D Printed Magnets Help Create More Efficient Electric Motors

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is leading a European consortium 3DREMAG which is developing a new material suitable for 3D printing of permanent magnets, which can be utilised in electric and hybrid vehicle motors. The aim in the long run is to develop a fully 3D printable electric motor, one that would be approximately 30% lighter than today's motors.

Graphene Innovation in Finland

Starting from the joint interest of Nokia and Finnish research institutes, soon after the experimental discovery of graphene and related materials in 2004, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland began developing its research in this area and now plays a vital role in the Graphene Flagship.

Sustainable Production, Traceability of Materials for Batteries

The success of electric cars on the markets may be determined by production methods and origin information of battery materials in the future. VTT and Geological Survey of Finland GTK launched a three-year project with their industrial partners to promote the sustainable production methods and traceability of battery materials. A promising starting point for tracing the origin is offered by the fingerprint conserved in the metals, which may directly tell where the metals were mined.
