Abstract

A method for manufacturing an induction coil assembly is disclosed. The method includes preparing a Computer Aided Design (CAD) model of an induction coil. The method further includes communicating the CAD model of the induction coil with a Three Dimensional (3D) printing machine The method further includes operating the 3D printing machine to deposit a plurality of layers of copper material one above other to manufacture the induction coil corresponding to the CAD model. The method further includes forming at least one hole in an annular member of the induction coil to receive a coolant and at least one hole in a first leg and a second leg to discharge the coolant.
