NEEDHAM, Mass. — Design and software firm E-Circuit Motors Inc. (ECM) has tapped Dan Lisowsky to head a new unit dedicated to serving manufacturers in the development of electric motors with printed circuit board (PCB) stators.

Lisowsky will be the vice president of ECM’s industrial OEM products division, which offers engineering, software, and client services to large electric motor equipment manufacturers.

These services include electric motor development on ECM’s award-winning PrintStator Motor CAD platform, as well as consulting for modeling, prototyping, production, and commercialization of products that incorporate PCB stator technology, a press release from ECM said.

Companies already served by the new division include aerospace and defense company L3 Harris, electronics manufacturer Celestica, marine and rail component leader B. Hepworth, and global engineering and manufacturing services firm East West Manufacturing.

“ECM is working with large electric motor OEMs in developing new products and applications with PrintStator Motor CAD and PCB stator innovation,” said ECM CEO Brian Casey. “With Dan and this new division, we’re providing a dedicated team to serving this demand and on-boarding additional motor OEMs who can leverage our technology.”

In his new role, Lisowsky will draw on extensive industry acumen to accelerate the adoption of PCB stator technology by ECM’s existing clients while actively engaging new partners for the industrial OEM products division, the press release said.

“I’m excited to join ECM to serve existing partners, and to leveraging my network to convince new players to utilize ECM's motor production technology to achieve their performance, efficiency, lightweighting, and sustainability goals," said Lisowsky.

Lisowsky most recently served as a product marketing manager and applications engineer at motor and motion control company AMETEK. Prior to working at AMETEK, Lisowsky held senior roles at medical electronics firm Valtronic and electronics manufacturing services and complex circuit board fabrication company Sanmina. Lisowsky earned his master's in engineering with a concentration in technology management from the University of Pennsylvania and bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan.

ECM pairs patented PCB stator innovation with PrintStator Motor CAD to create next-generation machines that are smaller, quieter, and more energy efficient across a broad range of use cases, the company said. The technology has uses in HVAC, medicine, robotics, aerospace products, renewable energy, and consumer electronics, among others.

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, achieve efficiencies in excess of 90%, and require just 20% of the raw materials to produce.
