Arbor's 25 MW turbine is small enough to 3D print on existing equipment. That means the manufacturing supply chain that constrains the rest of the industry doesn't constrain us in the same way. Our own Josh Raycroft, who started his career at GE, walks through why flexibility matters and what 3D printing a turbine the size of a dinner plate unlocks. Head to the blog post in the comments for more on the broader baseload infrastructure picture.
Can you share with us how you have designed and plan to make your main heat exchanger for the CO2 working fluid loop? Thanks!
Hey Josh Raycroft! Congrats that Cool Tech. And if you ever need 3D metal printing, look at Divergent! It's the best!

What happens to maintenance lead times if every site prints slightly different parts?
