“…Given the availability of design freedoms with 3D printing, many researchers have explored AM techniques for building heat sinks to optimise the thermal performance of devices. There have been many different kinds of 3D-printed heat sinks presented, such as pin [77], fin [78], branched [79], foam-based [80], manifold-microchannel [81], cross-media composite [82], and phase change material integrated [83] heat sinks. In most cases, these heat exchangers feature complex structures that are difficult to fabricate traditional methods.…”

Additive manufacturing techniques have by far been utilised to make 3D passive components (i.e. resistors, inductors, and capacitors), circuit boards and packages of power electronic devices. This paper provides an overview of automatic assembling technologies and additive manufacturing applications in power converters, as well as the advantages and limitations of each additive manufacturing process in this area. It shows that direct metal laser sintering offers advantages for manufacturing inductors with the conductivity of 68% of the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS) and magnetic cores with the permeability greater than 10000 at 50 Hz. The additive electronics from Nano Dimension show great promise for fabricating power converter PCBs with the conductivity from 25% to 50% IACS. Additive manufacturing in thermal management and packaging has been extensively studied and will spark more changes in these fields. Besides, the potential of the combination of automated and additive manufacturing in power electronic systems has also been discussed, which sets the basis for future development of advanced manufacturing of power electronics.

“…With the advent of AM, it has become possible to create arbitrary structures from many different materials. Due to this, there has been significant research in the thermal and mechanical properties of additively manufactured lattice structures [63][64][65][66]. Air-cooled electrical machines with higher power densities require the use of fans as relying only on natural convection is insufficient.…”

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a key technology for advancing many fields, including electrical machines. It offers unparalleled design freedom together with low material waste and fast prototyping, which is why it has become to focus of many researchers. For electrical machines, AM allows the production of designs with optimized mechanical, electromagnetic and thermal parameters. This paper attempts to give the reader an overview of the existing research and thermal solutions which have been realized with the use of AM. These include novel heat sink and heat exchanger designs, solutions for cooling the machine windings directly, and additively manufactured hollow windings. Some solutions such as heat pipes, which have been produced with AM but not used to cool electrical machines, are also discussed, as these are used in conventional designs and will certainly be used for additively manufactured electrical machines in the future.
