We favor traditional machining techniques, using 3D printing when it suits, utilizing the advantages of both methods of fabricating components.
We work very closely with the Dana Design machine shop to produce tightly-toleranced acrylic mating components.
Here we showcase a unique way of making gas-filled targets that can be built precisely, quickly and are robust.
Our latest fielded gas-filled targets consist of machined acrylic parts with 50 um thin acrylic diagnostic windows, along with our novel method of filling targets through the stalk.
In addition to building targets for our group, we serve the greater HEDP community by building targets and providing shot-day support for LaserNetUS users and National Laboratory PIs.
This is possible through programs such as LaserNetUS, allowing us the opportunity to significantly contribute to the HED community by providing targets for many experimental configurations fielded at a wide variety of institutions.
*This work is funded by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under subcontract B645096 and LaserNetUS and U.S. Department of Energy NNSA Center of Excellence under cooperative agreement number DE-NA0003869.
