An ORNL invention proposes using 3D printing to make conductors with space-filling thin-wall cross sections. Space-filling thin-wall profiles will maximize the conductor volume while restricting the path for eddy currents induction. The developed conductors will simultaneously achieve lower AC loss of Litz wire with good thermal performance and scalability of hairpin windings.
