WEAREAM adds Freemelt e-MELT-iD for titanium, tungsten and molybdenum Additive Manufacturing

Freemelt AB, based in Mölndal, Sweden, has announced the successful installation of its first industrial metal Additive Manufacturing machine, the e-MELT-iD, at WEAREAM, headquartered in Lombardy, Italy. The e-MELT-iD is a single-module Additive Manufacturing machine for product development and production of high-quality components using hard-to-weld metals, refractories, and high-purity copper.

WEAREAM has experience with Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-EB) technology and intends to be a key enabler for the development of new applications and products in Europe. WEAREAM will focus on bridging the gap between research and industry, enabling an efficient transition to mass production.

“The past few weeks have been incredibly productive as we have welcomed Freemelt and the e-MELT®-iD into our facility,” the stated Maurizio Romeo, WEAREAM’s CTO. “From pre-installation and configuration to hands-on operator training, the expertise of the Freemelt team has been appreciated and valuable.”

“We’ve completed all the required steps to start operating the machine in a way that meets our expectations. With my extensive experience of E-PBF technology and from implementing new machine models, I am very impressed with the efficient site acceptance test process and the machine reliability. Our team is excited to start operating the e-MELT-iD machine, and we look forward to the upcoming advanced user training to unlock its full potential, so we can progress in our ongoing discussions with industrial partners. Our initial focus will be in Ti64, Tungsten and Molybdenum applications,” added Romeo.
