I am intrigued and would be interesting in knowing more, but I've flagged this because it has virtually nothing in it beyond what the headline says. It's just a goal statement, and barely that. Nothing about how it might be accomplished, how 3D printing might actually achieve magnets with relevant metrics comparable to rare earth magnets, no indication of how far along the process is, whether it's pie-in-the-sky research job or taking a lab-demonstrated capability out into engineering practicality, nothing that might actually be of HN interest. As I write this, the story is pointed at https://3dprint.com/310374/magneo-project-to-replace-rare-earth-elements-for-permanent-magnets-via-3d-printing/ https://3dprint.com/310374/magneo-project-to-replace-rare-ea... . If it moves consider my comment here null. I did try to use the article to find a better link, but the article's own link to MagNEO at https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101130095 https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101130095 is just barely better, but the tech jargon doesn't provide a lot of utility to me. (At least I'm sure it means something to somebody, though.)
