The AHR Expo 2025 has come to a close, and we want to extend our gratitude to everyone who visited ECM’s exhibit. It was a pleasure connecting with industry leaders, innovators, and partners—both old and new—who share our passion for transforming electric motor technology in HVAC systems.
ECM CFO Mike Smith Takes Center Stage at AHR
A highlight of this year’s event was ECM CFO/COO Mike Smith’s presentation at AHR’s New Product Theater. He provided an in-depth look at how our PrintStator Motor CAD platform is revolutionizing HVAC motor design.
By replacing traditional copper windings with an ultra-thin PCB Stator disc, PrintStator-designed motors deliver game-changing advantages, including the following:
- Up to 70% lighter than conventional motors
- Efficiency exceeding 90%
- 80% reduction in raw materials, significantly lowering copper usage
- Acoustically quieter by up to 30 dB; and
- More compact designs, allowing for easier integration into HVAC systems
During his talk, Mike showcased real-world comparisons, including a 5 hp ECM PCB Stator motor that was up to 70 lbs (30 kg) lighter and half the length of a conventional counterpart. He also emphasized how our PrintStator SaaS platform enables companies to vertically integrate motor design, prototyping, and production — empowering manufacturers to develop high-efficiency motors tailored to their specific applications.
