3D Print your very own nuclear fuel assembly using Blender and Cura, designed from a real Pressurized Water Reactor!

What you’ll learn
Learn the fundamentals of Blender, a free and open-source modelling and animation program used by artists worldwide
Discover how nuclear reactors can be used to power commercial ships – and 3D print the reactor for one!
Create a nuclear fuel assembly from scratch, to scale with the real thing!
Learn how to operate a Creality Ender 3 FDM Printer, one of the most common and affordable printers on the market
Iterate on your design – take principles learned from this course to customize a fuel assembly to your liking

Requirements
No previous experience with Blender or 3D modelling is needed
No previous knowledge in nuclear technology or science is needed
No previous experience with 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing is needed
Access to a 3D printer will be necessary to print the final model – vendor and library options will be discussed for those without a home 3D printer

Description
Ever wanted a nuclear reactor core to show off at family, classmates, or coworkers? I’ll guide you through the anatomy of a nuclear reactor down from the uranium fuel pins all the way up to a full-size nuclear reactor core! We will be modelling a pressurized water reactor design by UK-based researchers* for commercial maritime propulsion!This course is accessible to anyone with a personal computer – no expertise in nuclear physics required. I designed this course to be completed in less than a week for those with busy lives and full schedules. This course is perfect for students and educators alike -  students can showcase their 3D printed nuclear reactor to gain a competitive advantage in scholarship applications, and educators can quickly explain technical concepts about nuclear reactor design with physical models to show the classroom.No 3D Printer? No problem! I’ll introduce you to services where you can send your 3D model to others where they will print the model and ship it directly to you.By enrolling in this course, you will:Learn the anatomy of a Pressurized Water Reactor and how researchers plan to use one to power commercial cargo and passenger shipsEasily navigate Blender, a free and open source 3D modelling and animation program used by artists and engineers alikeCorrectly build a 3D model of a nuclear reactor in Blender, starting with individual fuel pins, then fuel rods, then fuel assemblies, and finally the entire reactor coreOptimize your 3D model design for better performance in Blender and perfect 3D printsIterate on your 3D model to customize the course’s fuel assembly to your own likingFamiliarize yourself with a Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printer and understand key safety considerationsSetup your printer for a successful and stress-free print jobSee how researchers from the USA and Russia are using 3D Printing technology to make *real* nuclear reactor fuel and core components3D printing is a rapidly evolving technology that is quickly transforming education and manufacturing – don’t get left behind! Join me in learning the basics of 3D printing and see if you’d like to dive deeper into the lucrative world of Additive Manufacturing.*Peakman, Aiden, Hywel Owen, and Tim Abram. “The core design of a Small Modular Pressurised Water Reactor for commercial marine propulsion.” Progress in Nuclear Energy 113 (2019): 175-185.
