This geometrically patterned molybdenum component was 3D-printed with electron beam melting.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and BWX Technologies have recently developed a new method to manufacture and qualify parts for high-temperature nuclear reactor applications by using 3D printing.
BWXT, a Virginia-based nuclear fuel and component supplier, successfully 3D-printed core structural parts used in nuclear propulsion designs, something that was previously considered impossible with conve...
