There are two basic approaches to internal-tin Nb3Sn conductor design. 1) M
aintaining individually separated filaments after reaction and 2) allowing
groups of filaments to bridge, while, at the same time ensuring that the ov
erall size of the agglomerate is limited in order to control the effective
filament diameter (d(eff.)) and losses. In this paper we discuss recent dev
elopments in both of these conductor types. The strand for the Levitated Di
pole Experiment (LDX) is illustrative of type 1, and the most significant d
evelopment in this area is a react-and-wind conductor soldered into a coppe
r channel. In category 2, conductors with higher current density capabiliti
es have been made primarily for High Energy Physics applications, although
they can also be used in small high field magnets. Many of these conductors
have much higher losses than the other type. Some of the factors controlli
ng piece length, critical current density (J(c)) and losses are discussed f
or a series of different designs, filament sizes and compositions.
