Our 3D-printed components and Turbine Building Software cut lead times from months to hours. These innovations streamline design, reduce waste, and boost ROI, helping us deliver fast, flexible hydropower solutions unlike anything else on the market.
The first 3D-printed hydropower testbed of its kind
Our 12-inch testbed at the Rome Mill is a working hydropower turbine under head, not a hydrokinetic turbine in open current. Except for one straight run of PVC pipe, kept so an ultrasonic flow meter can clamp onto it, the whole flow path was 3D printed, or, like the fiberglass turbine housing, laid up on a 3D-printed mold. Its large parts were printed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory using Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM). It has run since March 2020: six years without a failure of a printed conveyance component.
