The two US companies will collaborate on commercialization of
premium performance, sustainable, printed circuit board stator
machines.
Design and software company ECM PCB Stator Tech and global
engineering and manufacturing services firm East West Manufacturing
have announced a strategic partnership to advance adoption of
next-generation products incorporating PCB Stator electric
motors.
The arrangement enables ECM to leverage East West’s extensive
production capabilities while allowing East West to extend the
benefits of ECM’s award-winning PrintStator Motor CAD optimization
platform to its client network. East West is now a certified ECM
manufacturing partner with a dedicated web page on the
collaboration. The two companies have successfully begun production
of a commercial consumer product for a third party that will enter
retail markets in the fourth quarter of 2024. ECM and East West
will also collaborate on production of pre-designed sample-motor
kits integrating ECM’s patented PCB Stator innovation.
“This partnership with East West boosts ECM’s mission to deliver
the benefits of PCB Stator innovation to a world that will require
over a billion specialized electric motors annually. It expands our
global reach and ability to offer next generation motor solutions
at scale,” said ECM CEO Brian Casey.
Scott Ellyson, CEO of East West Manufacturing, said, “We are
thrilled to partner with ECM. Together, we're not only advancing
the adoption of sustainable, high-performance electric motors but
also reshaping the future of manufacturing and driving efficiency
and innovation at every turn.”
As a company, ECM pairs its PCB Stator technology to PrintStator
Motor CAD to create next generation electric machines that are
smaller, quieter, and more energy and space efficient across
numerous use cases. Those include Consumer Electronics, HVAC,
E-Mobility, Medical, Robotics, Aerospace, and more.
ECM’s PCB Stators replace the bulky copper windings in
traditional motors with an ultra-thin disc. PCB Stator motors
designed via PrintStator are up to 70% lighter than conventional
options—while achieving efficiencies in excess of 90% and requiring
just 20% of the raw materials.
ECM has earned 14 award distinctions for its Motor CAD platform
and electric motor solutions, including winning the 2024 Automation
Innovation Awards for Software. The Boston-based company released
PrintStator as a SaaS offering in the first quarter 2024.
As a global manufacturing services company, East West
facilitates the realization of products from concept to production.
It works with partners to design, engineer, build, distribute,
scale, and manage products and solutions. East West maintains four
dedicated divisions specializing in integrated assemblies,
electronic manufacturing, HVAC equipment, medical solutions.
Through their collaboration, East West and ECM plan to leverage
each other's capabilities and networks to offer clients a wider
range of options to optimize electrical systems.
