Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an integral impeller and motor rotor. The method includes manufacturing an impeller with a shroud, modifying a radially outer surface of the shroud to prepare the radially outer surface for additive manufacturing, additively manufacturing a motor rotor onto the radially outer surface of the shroud such that the motor rotor has a magnetic field with a geometry designed by computer modeling, and magnetizing the rotor.
