Freemelt received a feasibility-study prototype order related to additive manufacturing of refractory metals.

What is new?

Freemelt will conduct a feasibility study for a defense company operating in Sweden, exploring additively manufactured components made from refractory metals. The announcement concerns prototype research rather than confirmed serial production.

3DPS perspective

Real-world suitability should be evaluated against production, cost and reliability data as these become available.
