Industry had the floor at Materials and Manufacturing Innovation Days (M2IND), where more than 350 leaders from industry, government and the research community gathered on Aug. 19–20 at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Discussions focused on barriers slowing the deployment of advanced manufacturing technologies and on how national laboratory capabilities and p

In partnership with A.J. Tuck Company, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new manufacturing approach that could simplify production of critical components for advanced nuclear reactors and other energy and defense applications. The method combines 3D printing and electroforming to produce complex, leak-free hot isostatic pressi

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge and Idaho national laboratories announced a collaboration to expand the domestic supply chain of industrial pressure vessels. Together, the labs will help enable wire arc 3D printing of these large components, which are critical for energy-related industries and capable of reliably withstanding harsh service conditions. The initiative boosts the rapid exp
