3D Systems and Savannah River launch an energy-focused AM collaboration
A cooperative agreement connects materials, process development and workforce training.
What happened
3D Systems announced a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Savannah River National Laboratory on August 27. The partnership centers on the laboratory’s Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative.
The stated scope includes materials, equipment improvements, AI-assisted process optimization, cybersecurity and workforce development. Advanced energy and nuclear-system applications are among the intended areas of work.
The agreement establishes a research program and route toward technology transfer. It does not mean the proposed components are already qualified for nuclear service.
