University of Southern Denmark orders Freemelt ONE for AM research
Freemelt AB, based in Mölndal, Sweden, has received an order from the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), based in Odense, for a Freemelt ONE Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-EB) Additive Manufacturing machine.
The machine will be used for advanced materials research together with international partners, as well as for mechanical and mechatronics applications at The Centre for Industrial Mechanics, part of SDU. The order value is approximately SEK 3.8 million, with expected delivery in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Andrei-Alexandru Popa, Associate Professor at SDU, shared, “We have ongoing collaboration in AM with colleagues in North America and Europe – industrial partners and researchers alike. Over the last year, our discussions have all concluded that there is a need for a truly open system in which novel and exotic application-specific materials can be developed. The freedom that the Freemelt systems offer answers this need, and we are all very excited to be the first in Denmark to adopt this technology.”
Daniel Gidlund, CEO of Freemelt, commented, “At Freemelt we have seen a significant interest in Additive Manufacturing in general but mainly within the defense and energy industry this spring. It is clear that smaller, innovative companies like Freemelt are attracting great attention from several countries and industries, and we are excited about our first order from a Danish customer.”
