Abstract This senior design project centered on the design, 3D printing, and testing of the Helmholtz Coil to create nickel patterned surfaces for various engineering applications. Helmholtz coils are utilized to generate homogeneous magnetic fields for a number of applications due to their ease of construction and tunable magnetic fields. This makes them particularly suitable for calibrating sensors and a variety of other applications using low frequency magnetic fields. This study presents theoretical and experimental analysis of magnetic field homogeneity of circular Helmholtz coils pairs with respect to diameter of coils, length and applied current. The thermal behavior of the Helmholtz coils is presented by means of IR thermal imager. Additionally, the senior design team evaluated the impact of current-induced magnetic field intensity on the manufacturing of ferromagnetic metals composites.
