- This study pioneered the latest AM technology in fabricating strong pure-W structural component, which was impossible through the conventional route. A high performance tungsten collimator with 0.5 mm pinholes was produced in a follow-up project, which can be potentially used for cancer detection and treatment (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijrmhm.2019.104998). The work had enabled the project collaborator to secure a £482K grant funded by AWE Management Ltd (UK) to investigate SLM of refractory metals for nuclear applications (contact Mr Mark Swan MARK.SWAN@awe.co.uk), and to work on contract research and small-scale manufacturing with Carpenter Additive UK (contact Dr Neil Harrison https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-harrison-285a77a3/) to translate the technology.
