CERN plans to use induction copper 3D-printing system to create superconducting applications

Swiss-based European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced plans to use the Germany-based GH induction process to improve the transport of high electrical currents to the cryogenic operating temperatures (-271.25 degrees Celsius) of its particle accelerator’s superconducting magnets.

The 27-km-long and underground based accelerator called Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) uses more than 1000 superconducting magnets and is used to study particle collisions.

GH Induction is based on the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) process and allows the printing of pure copper coils, inductors and other new sophisticated copper applications with increased service life, lower operating costs, and more geometric design freedom.
