Accelerating Energy and National Security Applications Through CRADA
3D Systems has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) to advance additive manufacturing for energy production and national defense applications. The partnership aims to improve material science, hardware, and workforce skills, with a focus on producing cutting-edge AM materials and expandable manufacturing methods. This collaboration is part of a larger effort to direct additive manufacturing towards pressing energy issues, particularly those tied to nuclear power and wider energy systems, as reported by Unknown Source.
