Abstract
A method of manufacturing a radiation detector includes adding a fluorescing medium to an additive manufacturing consumable to form a consumable mixture; additively manufacturing a plastic scintillator from the consumable mixture; and coupling the plastic scintillator to a light-to-current device, thereby forming an additively manufactured plastic scintillation detector.
