Freemelt validates E-PBF technology for high-temperature alloys

Freemelt, a company specializing in additive manufacturing technologies, has commissioned a feasibility study to validate E-PBF (Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion) technology for the production of novel alloys for high-temperature applications. This initiative aims to expand the application possibilities of additive manufacturing in areas such as aerospace, automotive and energy.

The customer, a pioneer in advanced additive manufacturing, utilizes extensive expertise in metallurgy and advanced manufacturing processes to develop innovative solutions for demanding industries. Through continuous research and development, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of the transformation of additive manufacturing into an efficient and innovative production technology for high-temperature metals.

Freemelt CEO Daniel Gidlund comments: “Thanks to our intensified commercialization efforts in North America we are experiencing an increased interest in our technology from industrial companies transitioning to additive manufacturing. I am thankful that another industrial company has chosen to validate Freemelt’s E-PBF (Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion) technology for the manufacturing of high-temperature metals, further expanding our footprint across North America.”

The validation of E-PBF technology through this feasibility study underscores Freemelt’s commitment to advancing additive manufacturing for demanding industrial applications and strengthening its position in the global high-temperature metals market.

Gidlund continues: ”Feasibility studies are the first critical step in realizing serial production through AM. Feasibility studies bridge the gap between concept and production, proving that additive manufacturing is a viable, cost-effective, and scalable solution for serial production. It provides the data-driven foundation needed to move forward, minimizing risks and ensuring readiness for industrial serial production. Feasibility studies are crucial for Freemelt’s commercialization, as they are related to industrial applications that are well-suited for the E-PBF technology and will over time result in new orders for the industrial machine, eMELT.”
