The use of optical scanning technologies in conjunction ... Overall, the integration of 3D printing in radiation therapy not only improves the fit and effectiveness of treatment devices but ...

Using full-scale 3D particle-in-cell simulations we show that the radiation reaction dominated regime can be reached in an all-optical configuration through the collision of a ~1 GeV laser wakefield ...

which the team believes may be due to the material’s optical transmission properties. So there you have it: a 3D printed radiation shield will absolutely improve the accuracy of your weather ...
