Freemelt, a deep-tech and green-tech firm whose options create new situations for fast progress in 3D printing, has acquired an order for a Freemelt ONE system from the Institute for Nuclear Analysis (ATOMKI) in Hungary, for use for analysis in nuclear materials science. The order worth is roughly SEK 4.6 million (roughly USD 421,000), with anticipated supply within the third quarter of 2023.
Nuclear energy has gained elevated curiosity and traction to scale back carbon emissions. Additional, elevated use of photo voltaic and wind energy has highlighted the necessity for steady base energy resembling nuclear energy to make the power system environment friendly.
Freemelt ONE is especially well-suited for high-temperature supplies generally present in fusion and fission reactors. For instance, one of many core supplies for Freemelt is tungsten, which may face up to excessive temperatures and is appropriate for radiation shielding.
The Freemelt ONE machine is optimized for supplies analysis to introduce new supplies and merchandise in industrial purposes, sooner. The Institute for Nuclear Analysis, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA Atomki), is without doubt one of the main services within the discipline of atomic and nuclear physics in Hungary. The truth that the Freemelt ONE machine features a periscope operate makes it doable to observe the method by trying into the machine whereas a part is being produced – a function enabled by the distinctive Freemelt know-how.
“We’re joyful that the collaboration with MTA Atomki now has resulted in an order of our Freemelt ONE machine. We see an elevated exercise and curiosity from the power sector, and this order is a crucial step and affirmation of the worth that Freemelt and additive manufacturing know-how can deliver to the power transformation,” stated Daniel Gidlund, CEO of Freemelt. “An essential a part of our providing is that our clients can develop, consider, and take a look at materials processes in our analysis machine Freemelt ONE and when prepared, switch them seamlessly into high-volume manufacturing by way of our industrial machine eMELT. We see this new order as an essential milestone on our journey to be a market-leading provider of steel 3D printing options.”
“Freemelt ONE shall be used for analysis in floor science and floor topology, which implies creation of latest floor buildings and composite supplies through non-adiabatic alloying, primarily based on the chance of a fast-moving highly effective electron beam. The open structure and free parametrization of the properties of the beam makes Freemelt ONE a great software for analysis functions,” stated Prof. Dr. Kalman Vad, from Atomki.
