The customer, a prestigious American university has extensive experience and knowledge in metal additive manufacturing. The university will utilize the Freemelt ONE system for material research of refractory metals suitable for various critical applications. Refractory metals such as tungsten have high melting points, excellent mechanical properties, and resistance to corrosion and wear, making them suitable for use in industrial processes involving extreme temperatures in areas like aerospace, manufacturing equipment, and energy applications. Refractory metal’s high melting point limits the ability to manufacture parts with traditional methods. Additive manufacturing has proven that geometric constraints can be unlocked and thus widen the accessible market.
The university is fostering partnerships with regional and national manufacturing industries to identify new applications to be manufactured through additive manufacturing, as an innovative manufacturing technology increasing the competitiveness of the
Freemelt’s CEO,
”It is rewarding that another prestigious American university chose to build their material research and development on Freemelt’s 3D printers. We have intensified our presence in the American market, ramping up sales and marketing efforts, which we now see the results from. This is another important order for
