Summary: his project will investigate using complex and efficient geometries to re design the helical shaped gravity concentrator (commonly known as a spiral), in a way suited to an existing 3D printing technology. The 3D printing technology will be selected during an initial pilot phase, which is being independently funded by Mineral Technologies ($100k) prior to the commencement of the IMCRC funded project.
