The Swedish company Freemelt has received an order from Singapore to validate its electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF) technology for the production of 3D-printed tungsten components. This technology is considered promising for the processing of high-performance materials such as tungsten, which is valued in the industry due to its high temperature resistance and density.
The project in Singapore is part of a research program aimed at developing new materials for industrial applications. The customer’s aim is to test the technology for the production of advanced tungsten components and to develop innovative material solutions for commercial products in the long term.
Freemelt CEO Daniel Gidlund comments:“Receiving our first order from Asia marks a milestone for our company. This achievement not onlybroadens our global footprint and customer base but also confirms the value Freemelt’s technologybrings to the manufacturing of critical tungsten applications. Asia is at the forefront of AM (additivemanufacturing) adoption, and this order will increase the awareness of Freemelt in the emergingAsian market, driving new commercial agreements.“
Freemelt’s electron beam powder bed fusion technology offers particular advantages for processing difficult-to-handle materials such as tungsten. The electron beam enables precise and energy-efficient melting processes that ensure consistent material quality. These properties make the technology interesting for high-performance applications in areas such as aerospace, medical technology and energy generation.
With the order from Singapore, Freemelt is strategically positioning itself in an emerging market for additive manufacturing technologies. The collaboration could serve as a basis for further projects in Asia and pave the way for new applications and partnerships.
