Con la victoria, las Leonas mejoraron su marca a 4-0, consolidándose entre los equipos más sólidos del torneo durante las primeras semanas de competencia. El partido se mantuvo cerrado de principio a fin. Guayama dominó el primer parcial 15-14, pero las ponceñas respondieron en el segundo período con ventaja de 17-13 para irse al descanso al frente. Las Brujas volvieron a tomar el control en el tercer cuarto al superarlo 18-15, dejando el desenlace para los últimos diez minutos. En el período decisivo, la defensa de las Leonas fue determinante al limitar a Guayama a solo ocho puntos, mientras anotaban 11 para asegurar el triunfo por tres tantos. A la ofensiva por Ponce sobresalió L. Pagán, quien coqueteó con un doble-doble al finalizar con 17 puntos y 19 rebotes, siendo la figura dominante bajo los tableros. También aportó significativamente J. González con 15 puntos, cinco rebotes y cuatro asistencias, mientras que A. Quiñones añadió ocho tantos. La armadora I. Torres contribuyó con cinco asistencias para dirigir el ataque ponceño, mientras que la defensa colectiva volvió a ser una de las claves del éxito de las locales. Las Leonas continúan demostrando consistencia en ambos lados de la cancha y mantienen intacto su invicto tras cuatro compromisos en la temporada 2026 de la LPBF.

Amazing call here - looked at this one today. Seems like the main bull thesis is Velo3D's support-free LPBF printing is irreplaceable tech that SpaceX built Raptor on? But the September 2024 agreement says Velo3D granted SpaceX a non-exclusive license to its additive manufacturing technologies for a $5M fee plus $3M of support services, and the terms are pretty alarming. SpaceX retains the technology and license forever, Velo3D's sole remedy for any breach is money damages with no right to terminate, and improvements SpaceX makes belong entirely to SpaceX with no obligation to share anything back. It even survives a Velo3D bankruptcy under Section 365(n). So, it seems the market is paying $693M today for a technology stack that was priced (in distress) at $5M, and whose most sophisticated user can self-replicate it royalty-free in perpetuity?

I print propulsion hardware. Machining a complex titanium manifold wastes 80% of the billet. LPBF recycles unfused powder. Energy per part is higher in AM. What alloy and process are you comparing?

AM Copper IH-DTL Accelerates Protons. Powder-bed protons just rewrote the accelerator rulebook: pure-copper 3D printing delivered real beam acceleration at 68 MV/m peaks, making traditional machining look like medieval blacksmithing. From laser-fused powder to 817 keV proton energy gain in a 146 mm copper structure. 433 MHz IH-DTLs were printed, powered, and proven, no lathe required, no excuses left for the old guard. 25 kW stable, 0.83 MV effective, zero drama. Additively manufactured pure-copper H-mode drift-tube linac structures now accelerate real protons at gradients and powers that rival or approach conventionally machined ones, while unlocking geometries and cooling paths once deemed impossible or ruinously expensive. In radiofrequency linear accelerators, the Interdigital H-mode Drift Tube Linac (IH-DTL) acts as an elegant electromagnetic orchestra. Alternating drift tubes create accelerating gaps where phased RF fields deliver synchronized kicks to proton bunches. Linac means linear accelerator; additive manufacturing (LPBF, laser powder bed fusion) builds by fusing copper powder layers from a digital blueprint instead of subtracting metal. Hähnel, Ates, Kaiser, Ratzinger and their Frankfurt-led team report the first high-power beam test (May 2025) of a pure-copper AM IH-DTL cavity at 433.632 MHz. The compact structure (outer length ~206 mm, active beam path 146 mm) was designed for 1 MV acceleration of 1.4 MeV protons. In the Van de Graaff test stand, protons reached 2.212 MeV, yielding 0.83 MV effective voltage and 817 keV energy gain, slightly above simulations. Peak surface fields hit ~68 MV/m (3.3× Kilpatrick criterion) at 25 kW forward power and 2% duty cycle with no breakdown. Measured performance aligned closely with design: unloaded Q ≈ 6836 (simulated 8603), effective shunt impedance ~186 MΩ·m (79% of simulated 234 MΩ·m). Shortfalls stem mainly from gasket contact resistances. Vacuum stayed in the mid-10^{-7} mbar range; beam spectra matched simulations. This is paradigm inversion, not incremental improvement, like 3D-printing a Formula 1 cylinder head with impossible internal cooling channels that outperforms hand-ported classics. Earlier 2022-era 3 GHz prototypes proved printability; this work adds decisive beam acceleration at practical power and gradient. Limitations are addressable: joint resistances cap Q and impedance; future monolithic prints should reach 90% of theoretical. Surface finish and annealing continue to improve. Implications span hospital proton therapy, isotope production, neutron sources, and industrial uses. Higher frequencies shrink size; conformal cooling enables higher duty cycles. The printed cavity accelerated real protons to design specs at high gradient, opening geometric freedom, speed, and economics previously unavailable. Conventional machining retains a place for the simple and ultra-large, but for complex, optimized, or rapid-iteration needs, the printer leads.
