Many thanks to Lonnie Love, Brian Post, and ORNL MDF staff for working with us on this first-of-a-kind project to demonstrate the utility of large area additive manufacturing for small hydro production parts. A special shout out to Alex Roschli (PI) and Katherine Gaul for your efforts and special attention to Cadens’ production parts for our AM test bed. Looking forward to working with you all in a successful Phase II.
