19December - JANUARY - 2021Our proprietary motor design and optimization software fundamentally changes the way motors are manufactured as it allows users to build stators that align with their evolving motor applicationsa potential end-product could look like. The company then starts the prototyping phase of its engagement strategy and delivers multiple prototype motors based on the provided specifications. "We allow the customer to test the prototypes in the field and finalize their design before leveraging PrintStator to design and develop the final product," adds Casey.According to Casey, a huge part of his company's success is its team's ability to evolve with every client engagement. ECM has gathered a team of extremely passionate engineers hailing from a plethora of backgrounds that continually strive to develop products and services that are poised to satisfy all customer needs. Moreover, with the industry knowledge and expertise of its R&D team backing their endeavors, the company's workforce is always poised to develop newer ways to apply the PCB technology and expand the horizons of motor applications. With such unmatched core competencies, ECM has ignited several success stories since its inception in 2015. In one instance, the company was selected alongside the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) by the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) to help determine the feasibility of replacing their conventional motor with a PCB stator motor. After proving the benefits of using ECMs stators including reduced drag, increased cargo space, enhanced motor efficiency, and more, MARAD replaced a 3HP air handler motor on the U.S. Kennedy with a PCB stator technology-based motor. In the end, ECM helped MARAD reduce motor weight by two-thirds compared to legacy motors while enhancing their motor efficiency to 91.6 percent.Moving forward, ECM plans to launch an enhanced version of its website API to instantaneously generate design schematics and data modeling sheets based on client specifications, named the Infinite Motor Catalog. Alternatively, Casey also predicts a surge in bulk orders across Europe and North America as more manufacturers discover the value of replacing their existing motors with ECM's PCB technology. To conclude, Casey reiterates ECM's ultimate goal, "In the next 18 months, we aim to develop a software platform where engineers and commercial entities can have access to PrintStator, enabling them to create their own designs and place orders with partner printed circuit board houses."
