SPIN-OFF

(USP3D - A Spinoff Initiative from Ghent University)

To remain at the forefront of cutting-edge developments in electrical machines, our spin-off maintains a robust partnership with our alma mater, Ghent University. Our collaboration is well-established with the esteemed electrical machine research team, under the guidance of Professor Peter Sergeant. This strategic alliance serves as a vital bridge between academia's latest advancements and industrial practices. Currently, we are actively engaged in collaborative projects as follows.










Ongoing Activities

Additive Manufacturing for Electrical Machines (AM4EM)

AM4EM is a joint, ambitious research project by Ghent University, KU Leuven, and VITO, on the application of 3D-printing (Additive Manufacturing) to improve the performance of Electrical Machines. AM4EM is a high-risk high-gain strategic basic research project funded by FWO Research Foundation Flanders.

Pioneering Energy-Efficient Motor Design for Racing Cars

UGent Racing is the Formula team of Ghent University. Students from different disciplines work together on an electric, autonomous race car. We allow them to put their theoretical knowledge into practice. Our ambitious and talented members can fully develop themselves through our project-based approach with a strong focus on innovation. In addition to the competition, we want to create support for a more sustainable E-mobility.

Activities in the EELab (UGent)

The research group of the Electrical Energy Laboratory (EELab) is active in various areas of electrical energy conversion, electrical drives (electrical machines, power electronics for drives, and control of drives), electromagnetic simulations (development of FE software for field calculations and application to the design of electromagnetic devices), and magnetic material modeling and characterization.

Events

Flanders Make: Symposium & Scientific Conference

Flanders Make supports the Flemish manufacturing industry to increase its international competitive strength. By doing so, they keep companies in Flanders and at the same time attract foreign businesses. FMAKE support both SMEs and large manufacturing companies with industry-driven, pre-competitive and excellent research in two application domains: Products (e.g. vehicles and machines) and  Production & Assembly.
