Magnet-3D-Printer for customizing special magnetic field
You may have seen permanent magnet , but have you seen the magnets by 3D printing? Recently, a newly established company who concentrates on researching of magnetomechanics announced the 1st magnetism 3D printer and its particular magnet 3D printing technology, unveiled more unknown magic properties of the magnets.
The new type magnets developed by this company is called Polymagnets which own particular 3D typing magnetic field. Its positive and negative poles are on the same surface. Such a kind of magnetic field generates many novel and useful characteristics, which is enough to reverse the design of current permanent magnetic products.
The company’s co-founder and chief scientist is committed to the restructuring of magnet structure to create more complex magnetic field, it is also the technological base of the company’s 3D printing magnet. It is understood that the company has won more than 100 patents, and the most important one is the magnetic shear force transmission device (2014). Just this technology derived their first magnetic 3D printer-Mini MagPrinter, the machine can print magnetic field on the magnet. This is a very rare 3D printing technology, involves the nature of the magnet itself.
They make the function of them get beyond the ordinary permanent magnets mainly through the programming of the magnet. The maximum feature of Polymagnets with 3D printing magnetic field is cohering magnetic field on the one side of the magnet, rather than both sides we usually see. They have moved the north and south poles of magnets to the same side, so that they can have a very intense magnetic field, the magnetic force gathered near the magnet, to reduce the energy waste of the traditional magnets.
There is a strong repulsive force between two 3D printing magnets, they cannot contact each other, but the user simply spins the magnets, they suddenly attracted together tightly. It’s very fantastic.
At present it has been proved that Polymagnets can be used in the manufacture of magnetic springs, magnetic locks and automatic connectors. Owing to its optimized magnetic field, Polymagnets are 5 times stronger than the conventional magnets. And its magnetic field is small and compact, so there is less impact to the surrounding sensitive electronic products. Last year, a smart Polymagnet was used to fix tablet computer, keyboard and mobile phone accessories, etc. easily and accurately.
What’s more, Polymagnets’ magnetic field can be custom-made through the special 3D printers. It is not a simple 3D printer to configure the north and south poles, but print the magnetic field to the permanent magnet according to the customized structure designed by the software in a few minutes. As the complicated South and North poles locate on the same surface, these Polymagnets magnets are very different from the magnets we usually know.
Mini MagPrinter simply prints magnetic area array to each piece of magnetic materials . Every Polymagnet is a small magnet system, with the north and south poles, and are implanted by MagPrinter. Traditional magnets can add MagPrinter turn into Polymagnet, users only need to choose a model, and then the 3D printer reprograms the magnets, making them have some different functions.
Although the magnetic 3D printer is very attractive, but the price of Mini MagPrinter is very expensive, its cost is up to US$45000. The good news is that Polymagnets with 3D printed magnetic field is cheap. At present, there are nearly 200 kinds of different designs available to choose.
