- Description
- Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its method to 3D print electromagnets with multiple materials. Background: Electromagnets are used in various industries, demanding unique shapes and sizes that are difficult to wind and assemble.� The 3D printing of electromagnets is not novel, but the capability to 3D print coils with multiple materials is essential to the fabrication of complex shapes and sizes.� There is a need to develop a method using additive manufacturing to fabricate coils that use multiple materials to improve conductivity, insulation, and structural rigidity. Description: LLNL�s novel approach is to use Direct Ink Write (DIW) with a co-extrusion nozzle to enable the extrusion of multiple materials as one coil.� With this method, LLNL researchers were able to produce an insulating wire that is composed of three different materials, axial conducting and insulating from its inner core to its outer sheath.� After heat treatment, the printed wireI was then tested for performance and other properties. �Early results have been promising � showing satisfactory conductivity and insulating properties.� LLNL researchers have also designed another way to 3D print electromagnetic coils using a layered deposition method, whereby each layer is printed individually.� If multiple materials are needed in a given layer, they are done sequentially, not simultaneously.� Advantages/Benefits:� Value Proposition:� 3D printing electromagnetic coils having multiple materials Fabrication of custom and complex magnets with precisely located windings to reduce multipole moments that can affect particle beam quality in accelerators Potential Applications:�� Accelerator physics Fusion system magnets High value magnets for high power applications Development Status:� Current stage of technology development:� TRL 2 LLNL has filed for patent protection on this invention. LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information.� Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note:� THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.� Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's 3D printing of electromagnets having multiple materials should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following: Company Name and address. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's 3D printing of electromagnets having multiple materials. The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL�s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Innovation and Partnerships Office P.O. Box 808, L-779 Livermore, CA� 94551-0808 Attention:�� IL-13822
