SMC-CORE · MATERIALS · SOFT MAGNETIC COMPOSITE FOUNDATION
The material is the foundation. The foundation is the platform.
SMC-Core — Soft Magnetic Composite Core — is Reinventy's proprietary material platform: the foundational substrate on which the AeroMag electric motor portfolio is built. The material is produced in-house, eliminating dependence on commercial silicon-steel laminate supply chains and enabling motor geometries that conventional lamination cannot economically realise. Both motor architecture families within AeroMag — AFPM and PPMT — are constructed on the SMC-Core substrate. Patent priority window 2026 high-priority filing roadmap.
THE THESIS
Magnetic performance is decided upstream of the motor.
Commercial electric motor design is constrained by the magnetic properties of commodity silicon-steel laminations. The lamination is purchased, stamped to geometry, and stacked into the stator assembly. Improvements in motor performance — power density, efficiency envelope, geometric optimisation — face a hard ceiling at the material layer, and the supply chain for the underlying laminate is shared with every other motor manufacturer competing for the same commodity material. The constraint is upstream of the motor design.
SMC-Core moves the constraint inside the company. The material is formulated, processed, and shaped in-house. The composite combines an iron-based magnetic phase with a polymer- derived binder matrix, configured into a formulation that is compatible with additive manufacturing routes. The result is a material that supports magnetic circuit configurations not realisable with stamped silicon-steel lamination — geometric freedom at the material layer translates directly into design freedom at the motor architecture layer. Both motor architectures within the AeroMag platform (AFPM and PPMT) are built on this substrate.
MATERIAL ARCHITECTURE
Four design freedoms. One material platform.
SMC-Core is engineered around four design-freedom principles that distinguish it from commodity silicon-steel lamination:
- MAGNETIC PHASE CLASS
Iron-based magnetic phase formulated for tuneable magnetic permeability characteristics. The formulation supports magnetic-performance envelopes configured to the stator architecture rather than constrained by commodity laminate specifications.
- BINDER MATRIX CLASS
Polymer-derived binder matrix providing mechanical integration of the magnetic phase. The matrix architecture is compatible with additive manufacturing routes and supports the structural integrity envelope required by continuous-duty motor operation.
- GEOMETRIC FREEDOM
Material formulation supports motor stator geometries that stamped silicon-steel lamination cannot economically realise. Magnetic circuit configurations — including the parallel-path topologies required by PPMT — are unlocked at the material layer.
- CONFIGURATION RANGE
The SMC-Core platform supports multiple base configurations tuned to specific motor architecture requirements. Per-configuration scope and performance envelope are released under partnership.
MANUFACTURING APPROACH
Additive shaping. Engineered densification.
SMC-Core is engineered for additive manufacturing routes followed by densification cycles configured to preserve the microstructural architecture on which the material's magnetic performance depends. Both shaping flexibility and microstructural control are designed into the process from the material formulation layer. The manufacturing route is part of the foundational IP — material formulation and additive process are filed together as a coherent patent asset within the 2026 high-priority filing roadmap. Specific process parameters, densification cycles, and acceptance windows are released under partnership.
PLATFORM INTEGRATION
Where SMC-Core enables.
SMC-Core is the foundational material substrate composed into Reinventy's electric propulsion portfolio:
- AEROMAG
Primary deployment platform. SMC-Core is the material foundation for the entire AeroMag electric motor portfolio. Both motor architecture families within AeroMag (AFPM and PPMT) are built on the SMC-Core substrate; the material's geometric freedom and tuneable magnetic characteristics enable both topologies.
View → - PPMT
Architecture enabled. The parallel magnetic flux circuit configuration on which PPMT depends is realisable because the SMC-Core material substrate supports the geometric and magnetic-property configurations required by the topology. The same is true of the sister AFPM architecture, which is configured on the same material foundation.

IP POSTURE
Foundational. Material plus process.
SMC-Core IP coverage is engineered as a coherent material-plus-process asset: the material formulation and the additive manufacturing route are filed together within Reinventy's 2026 high-priority filing roadmap. The material foundation is upstream of the motor architecture filings (AFPM, PPMT, Mag-FOC); coverage at the SMC-Core layer is therefore foundational to the entire AeroMag-family patent strategy. Specific application metadata, claim language, and jurisdictional extension scope are released under non-disclosure agreement. For the broader IP posture disclosure regime, see /ip-posture.
