ECM received distinction for its PrintStator software that enables any innovator to devise and commercialize premium performance, PCB Stator electric machines.
NEEDHAM, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2024 / US Electric motor design software firm ECM PCB Stator Tech was announced a CES Innovation Awards Honoree in the Sustainability and Energy Power category for its PrintStator software-as-a-service platform.
The distinction comes ahead of ECM's CES 2025 participation in Las Vegas, where innovators can demo PrintStator at the company's exhibit: LVCC, North Hall - 8453.
As company, ECM pairs patented printed-circuit-board (PCB Stator) technology to advanced Motor CAD. The combination enables engineers to optimize electric motors that are smaller, quieter, and more energy efficient.
Those wishing to leverage ECM's innovation can do so in two primary ways:
By obtaining a PrintStator SaaS license; and
Through the company's PCB Stator Motor Evaluation Kit program
Hosted by the Consumer Technology Association, the CES Innovation Awards recognize outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. The 2025 CES award distinction is ECM's second, after earning top honors for PrintStator SaaS (and its incorporated printed circuit board stator solutions) in 2024.
Adoption of PCB Stator technology offers numerous design, production, and bottom-line benefits to companies and innovators that use electric motors in their products and systems.
Those advantages are evident across four categories.
Competitive Edge
PrintStator SaaS extends a competitive advantage to electric motor producers and users.
By incorporating PCB Stator innovation that replaces bulky copper windings with an ultra-thin disc, PrintStator designed motors are:
Up to 70% lighter than conventional options
Achieve efficiencies greater than 90%
Require just 20% of the raw materials (notably copper); and
Are acoustically quieter-by up to 30 dB
PrintStator extends these competitive advantages by allowing users to design electric motors to precise performance and dimensional specs with a rapid design to production cycle-weeks to months, not months to years.
Sustainability & Regulatory Compliance
PrintStator Motor CAD and PCB Stator technology offer businesses a cost-effective solution for sustainability and regulatory compliance. That includes designing systems to meet IE4 and IE5 standards and U.S. and EU minimum energy performance requirements.
Vertical Integration
As a SaaS offering, PrintStator allows any innovator-from SME entrepreneur to big-company engineer-to become a PCB Stator electric motor designer and manufacturer. PrintStator users can leverage ECM's global PCB production partner network to enable immediate prototyping, rapid time-to-market, and greater supply-chain control through vertical integration.
Scalability
By pairing PCB Stator electric motor innovation to PrintStator SaaS, ECM creates the opportunity to extend the performance and sustainability benefits of this technology at scale.
