0
·1 viewsResearchers at the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have completed an eight-week effort to 3D-print a massive steel mold for aerospace use. The structure stands 6 feet tall, spans 4 feet wide, and weighs close to 2 tons. Developed in collaboration with Boeing, the tool is intended for producing thermoplastic composite components for aircraft. It will support NASA's Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing, known as HiCAM, project.
