Stanford researchers have developed a scalable method for producing precisely engineered 3D-printed lattice structures for inertial confinement fusion targets. Current fusion target materials often use porous foams to hold and distribute fusion fuel.
Stanford researchers have developed an innovative optical architecture that enables projection-based vat photopolymerization (VP) 3D printers to significantly expand the printable area without sacrificing resolution, speed, or structural integrity.
The DeSimone Research Group at Stanford University developed a method for fabricating 3D pyrolytic carbon structures from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) generated by a scalable Vat Polymerization 3D-printing continuous liquid interface production (CLIP) process.
