Their project SEALER-E, based on lead cooling, aims to deliver clean energy in the future. Within the framework of this collaboration, our company was responsible for printing the reactor model in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/en\/3d-printing-in-plastic\/complete-guide-hp-mjf-3d-printer\/\">Multi Jet Fusion HP technology<\/a> with the material <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/en\/3d-printing-in-plastic\/complete-guide-pa12-printing-in-plastic\/\">PA12 <\/a>as well as for painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The manufacturing process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Printing the reactor model required an accurate representation of Blykallas' design. The Multi Jet Fusion HP technology enabled high quality of detail, and the PA12 material gave the model the right strength and durability. After printing, the model was painted to give it a realistic appearance that could be presented at meetings and demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2.jpg\" alt=\"SMR reactor 3D printing MJF HP\" class=\"wp-image-1804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.jpg\" alt=\"SMR reactor 3D printing MJF HP\" class=\"wp-image-1803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/3-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4.jpg\" alt=\"SMR reactor 3D printing MJF HP\" class=\"wp-image-1802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.amprintservice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3D printing in the nuclear industry <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3D printing has become an important tool for the production of components in the nuclear industry. It enables rapid prototyping, cost reduction, and the production of complex shapes that would be difficult to achieve with traditional methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use of 3D printing in the nuclear industry offers many advantages. It enables faster prototype manufacturing, which speeds up research and development processes. Thanks to this, companies like Blykalla can visualize, market, test and implement new customized solutions more quickly. In addition, more and more nuclear power plants are starting to use plastic and metal spare parts manufactured using 3D printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The future of 3D printing in the energy sector <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The future of 3D printing in the energy sector, including nuclear power, looks promising. The technology enables the production of spare parts on demand, which could revolutionize the maintenance and service of power plants. In addition, the development of 3D printing materials, such as metal alloys that can withstand high temperatures, opens up new possibilities for the production of components in the nuclear industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collaboration with Blykalla on the SMR reactor model is an excellent example of how 3D printing is used in the nuclear industry. The project was complex because the base was an advanced 3D model and required printing in several parts, partial painting and assembly of the entire reactor. Blykalla presented our model in SVT's program Vetenskapens v\u00e4rld, which is about science, knowledge and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Contact us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blykalla \u00e4r ett svenskt f\u00f6retag som specialiserar sig p\u00e5 sm\u00e5 modul\u00e4ra reaktorer (SMR).
