An electric machine includes a plurality of printed layers arranged to form a stator having an outer periphery and teeth extending radially inward from the outer periphery. Each of the printed layers includes discrete portions of metal and discrete portions of insulation. The discrete portions of insulation define a contiguous network of insulative boundaries separating discrete cells formed by the discrete portions of the metal. A volume of the discrete cells within the outer periphery is greater than a volume of the discrete cells within the teeth such that a reluctance of the teeth is greater than a reluctance of the outer periphery.
