Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Uses 3D Printing to Produce Parts for Microwave Launchers
As part of his daily work as a scientist at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), Bob Ellis sometimes fields calls from organizations like the Korea Supercomputing Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) facility. In this case, the need was for a water-cooled fixed mirror with an ability to stand up under intense heat for as long as five minutes as microwave beams are directed from launchers in order to fuel fusion reactions through heated plasma.
