Advancing wind energy design: lessons from NREL’s MADE3D project

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has concluded its five-year MADE3D project, short for Manufacturing and Additive Design of Electric Machines by 3D Printing. This initiative explored new approaches to wind turbine generator design and manufacturing, using additive technologies to reduce rare-earth material dependency and improve the performance and scalability of […]
