ORNL 3D prints new complex, defect-free tungsten components in “world first”

Researchers at the US Department of Energy (DoE)’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have 3D printed defect-free tungsten parts with complex geometries. Produced using electron-beam additive manufacturing at the ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF), these tungsten parts are said to be the first of their kind. According to the ORNL team, this accomplishment offers significant […]
