Our Technology Roots
(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.
Activities and Projects
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 UGent: EnSy and Machineries & Factories (M&F)
We are well connected with regional and international academic and industrial stakeholders. This means we will bring you in contact with one of the experts in our network. As such you will get the opportunity to work in multi-partner projects, whereby academia and companies work together along the value chain for different applications.
EU Projects and Horizon Europe
USP3D actively contributes to European research initiatives in collaboration with Ghent University, bringing expertise in additive manufacturing for high-performance electrical machines. As a committed partner in research and innovation projects, including Horizon Europe, we welcome new collaborations. Our expertise is exemplified by our role in the EMBYAM (Electrical Machines by Additive Manufacturing) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Industrial Project.
