US nuclear fusion gets a 3D printing boost to fast-track construction
Engineers at the US Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are employing a novel, cost-effective strategy to prepare for the assembly of a critical component in their cutting-edge fusion energy device. By creating detailed 3D-printed replicas of complex magnet systems, the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U) team is ensuring a smoother, faster, and … Read more
