This contribution reviews the industrial maturation of additive manufacturing (AM) using data from Wohlers Report 2026 including the Q1 and Q2/2026 Updates, built on survey input from over 1,200 segments across 570 companies. For an audience working on linear accelerators, its value lies less, but for sure also, in overall market size than in what AM is now demonstrating for complex,...

Reliably using additively manufactured components in linear accelerators requires consistent quality, even for a single-unit production run. This necessitates a comprehensive understanding of transient defect formation within the component, which is influenced by highly dynamic process phenomena. High-speed X-ray imaging provides the necessary spatial and temporal resolution to directly...

An overview of ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) and its potential applications in accelerators with updates on developmental efforts at the University of Chicago Engineering and Technical Support Group (ETSG). ETSG involvement with the technology has unfortunately been limited thus far by funding, so conversations with attendees about potential uses or collaboration opportunities would...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) enables fabrication of complex LINAC components, such as radiofrequency quadrupoles (RFQs). However, the high surface roughness of as-built parts can reduce RF conductivity, breakdown resistance, and vacuum performance.

This work investigates mechanical and chemical treatments to improve the surface finish of RFQ samples produced by PBF-LB, focusing on the...
