3D Print 🧵 3Dable.ITArgonne National Laboratory has submitted an ASME Code Case proposing Laser Powder Bed Fusion for nuclear reactor components. If approved, LPBF could become a formal pathway for nuclear manufacturing, strengthening supply chains and reducing lead times. Research involved four US national laboratories. https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/argonnes-asme-submission-aims-to-open-a-formal-pathway-for-lpbf-in-nuclear-reactor-manufacturing-250479/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Industrial #Argonne
Argonne's ASME Submission Aims to Open a Formal Pathway for LPBF in Nuclear Reactor Manufacturing - 3D Printing Industry
Argonne National Laboratory, a research center operated by UChicago Argonne, for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), has submitted the first draft of an ASME Code Case proposing Laser Powder Bed Fusion as a permitted manufacturing process for high-temperature nuclear reactor components. If adopted, the proposal would strengthen the nuclear supply chain, reduce manufacturing lead […]
