Freemelt wins follow-on order from Swedish defence company
Freemelt AB, based in Mölndal, Sweden, has received a follow-on order from a Swedish defence company for continued development and prototype manufacturing of components for the defence industry. The order builds on a previously completed feasibility study including material qualification of complex materials for Additive Manufacturing and application tests.
The order forms part of ongoing work to evaluate and qualify components for future defence applications, with the aim of moving towards verification of scalable and serial production.
“The fact that the project is now entering proof-of-concept is an important step towards our goal of serial production of components for the defence industry, and proof that Freemelt’s technology meets the customer’s high demands. We look forward to continuing to support the customer in the next step of the development,” said Daniel Gidlund, CEO of Freemelt.
