The OpeN-AM experimental platform, installed at the VULCAN instrument, features a robotic arm that prints layers of molten metal to create complex shapes. Studying the 3D-printed welds microscopically with beams of neutrons allows researchers to better understand factors such as stress caused by heating and cooling. The experiments will help to optimize the fabrication technique for more mainstream use.
