Digitally Materialized End Part

This is a pair of new flexibilized parts that I have been working on for a new generation of Nb3Sn Quadrupole Magnets. The closer part has been 3d printed including slits out of a 316 stainless steel/bronze material. The rear part has had those slits put in via wire EDM.

 

The accordian style slits allow the parts to flex large amounts during manufacture without breaking or permanently deforming to avoid damaging the extremely fragile Nb3Sn Superconductor that goes between them.
