Savannah River National Laboratory Partnership Boosts Advanced Energy and National Security Applications; Yakama Nation Briefs EM Leader on Innovative Solar Irrigation Project; and much more!

Savannah River National Laboratory and 3D Systems have signed a cooperative research agreement to advance additive manufacturing for nuclear energy and national security. The partnership utilizes the laboratory's Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative to integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning, and new materials into production processes. This effort aims to bridge laboratory research with industrial readiness.

The collaboration focuses on fabricating complex components from advanced alloys that are difficult to produce through conventional methods. By combining commercial 3D printing platforms with expertise in nuclear materials, the initiative seeks to improve energy infrastructure resilience. The project also includes workforce development training to prepare technicians and engineers for emerging roles in the nuclear and defense manufacturing sectors.
