Accelerating E-Motor Innovations

Our Technology Edge

Illustration of the periodic table for critical raw materials in E-motors

Sustainable Materials >>

  • From neodymium in permanent magnets to copper in windings, the selective use of critical raw materials (CRMs) helps e-drive systems reduce supply risk and costs while preserving top-end performance for demanding applications.

Green Manufacturing >>

  • 3D printing technology enables design freedom, cost-effective small-series production, and scalability without tooling investment — ideal for rapid iteration and low-risk scale-up. Furthermore, aluminum windings are lighter, more affordable, and outperform copper in high speed applications.

Durable Solutions >>

  • The power of a wire comes from the strength of its insulation and heat management. Our proprietary coating is applied after the winding is shaped, ensuring a defect-free dielectric layer. Together with advanced cooling solutions, this results in durable insulation, higher power density, and higher reliability under extreme stress.

Impactful Results

  • In high-frequency applications, Drive13 motors achieve market-leading power density 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.
