![3D printed “Frankenstein design” collimator show the “scars” where the individual parts are joined](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2024-04/2024-P03207%20collimator%20with%20scars%20highlighted.jpg?h=036a71b7&itok=4aO2i21j)
Scientists at ORNL have developed 3D-printed collimator techniques that can be used to custom design collimators that better filter out noise during different types of neutron scattering experiments
