NX Atomics and Sciaky Partner to 3D-Print Nuclear Reactor Components

NX-Atomics and Sciaky have formed a Midwest partnership to apply aerospace-proven additive manufacturing to 3D print components for U.S. small modular nuclear reactors. The goal is to speed up production, reduce costs, and strengthen a domestic supply chain for advanced reactor parts.

What SMR components are the best candidates for large-scale 3D printing, and what certification or qualification hurdles will be most challenging to clear?
