The project goal was to upscale and introduce to the market a new NdFeB powder better suited for 3D printing technology. NdFeB magnets contain around 30 wt-% of Nd and Dy, both classified as critical raw materials by the EU.

The developed powder enables 3D printing of optimized magnet configurations for e-drives needed in future mobility applications with reduced waste. This will be the first high performance spherical NdFeB powder in the market tailored for use in 3D printing.
