Description
Recently it was shown that an end-user 3D printer can be used to print polymer bonded rare-earth magnets with a complex shape. The focus here is to manufacture polymer bonded NdFeB magnets for producing a tailored external field in a specific region outside the magnet. To determine the desired magnetization or shape of the printed magnet we developed an inverse stray field method and a topology optimization algorithm based on finite elements that allows us to deduce the magnetization and the shape of the magnet, respectively. With this simulation framework magnets are designed and printed.
