Abstract

This critical review aims to note advances in 3D printing for the scintillation community. A few main 3D printing techniques were reviewed and compared. Technical limitations and practical challenges are emphasized, and design considerations are also discussed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note classical casting (moldings) is not AM technique, because use some special tools and patterns, which is unique to each part.

  2. 2.

    Conceptually, the ideal 3D printer is a “black box” with a single “print” button on the case. One loads a raw material into this machine, push the button, waits some time and get the desired part. No additional devices or tools are needed. In real life, indeed, the situation is slightly more complicated.

  3. 3.

    The yellow color of garnet doped ceria powders does not hinder printing by SLA method [9].
