Canadian Nuclear Station Using 3D Printing and Virtual Reality to Save Money and Promote Innovation
“While many may not think about nuclear power as one of the many industries making use of 3D printing, the technology’s ability to save time and money, and offer design freedom, is actually a perfect fit for nuclear power plants. The Rosatom nuclear energy corporation developed Russia’s first industrial metal 3D printer for the nuclear industry last summer, less than a year before Siemens completed the first successful commercial installation of a 3D printed part in a nuclear power plant.
Canada’s Pickering Nuclear Station is the latest to incorporate advanced technologies, such as 3D printing and virtual reality, to save on costs, increase and promote innovation, and make money for the Ontario Power Generation (OPG)…”
