1. An apparatus for generating a layout for an additive manufacturing of an electric drive for a disc rotor adapted for being driven by a magnetic field, the apparatus comprising an input module, configured to receive, from a user, one or more input parameters,
a generating module, configured to generate, from the one or more input parameters,
a layout of a plurality of coil structures, wherein the plurality of coil structures is adapted to generate the magnetic field by an electric current,
a layout of a control structure, wherein the control structure is adapted to connect the plurality of coil structures with a connector for a supply of the electric current, and to distribute the electric current to the plurality of coil structures in order to drive the disc rotor, and wherein each coil structure comprises as coil layers one or more concentric wire helices, and wherein the generating module is configured to generate each wire helix based on a projection of a circular helix onto a coil layer surface by means of a rotating projection line which is located parallel to the cross sections of the wire helices.
