Proterial Builds Ferrite-Magnet Motor Prototype, Adds AI to Its Toolkit for Developing New Materials 

For design engineers, simulations can be important tools in the product development process but actual performance by a prototype is a welcomed step better. That’s the status at materials company Proterial where a prototype motor built with its innovative new ferrite magnets confirmed the promising results from an earlier simulation model – challenging the performance of neodymium magnets in EV motors. Separately, the company announced that it is embracing artificial intelligence techniques in its efforts to develop more new advanced materials serving a variety of markets. […]
