Turning a Breakthrough Prototype into a Scalable Superconducting Magnet

Superconducting systems promise game-changing performance, but only if they can be scaled. This in-depth case study explores how Re:Build DAPR partnered with a leading energy startup to transform a delicate, cryogenic prototype into a repeatable, production-ready product. From coil winding and coldmass design to transport protection and real-world integration, the paper reveals how advanced engineering meets manufacturing discipline to bring first-of-a-kind systems to life.
