With  AMA: Energy 2026  just around the corner, 3D Printing Industry is taking a closer look at the role of additive manufacturing in the energy sector. Nuclear construction is slow, expensive, and resistant to change, a combination that has constrained the industry for decades. US largest multi program science and technology laboratory Oak Ridge National Laboratory is working to change one part of that equation, applying large-format additive manufacturing to the fabrication of structural reactor components in a way that cuts construction timelines from months to weeks while opening up geometries that conventional formwork cannot produce.  The work is led by Ahmed Arabi Hassan, group leader for the composite innovation group at ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. With the first molten salt reactor in the United States now underway on the historic K-25 site in Oak Ridge, the project has moved from demonstration to live deployment.  Register now for AMA: Energy 2026.…
