entX and the University of Adelaide secured AUD$1.8 million to scale GenX nuclear battery production using additive manufacturing. The project integrates AM with thin-film deposition to build nanoscale betavoltaic layers, achieving power densities that exceed current global benchmarks. Over the next 14 months, this initiative will transition lab prototypes into scalable industrial processes for space and defense missions. This demonstrates AM’s critical role in manufacturing maintenance-free power systems for extreme environments. 🚀🔋 #AdditiveManufacturing #NuclearEnergy #SpaceTech #DefenseInnovation #3DPrinting
