Freemelt offers advanced manufacturing capabilities for high-density tungsten components using its proprietary Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (E-PBF) technology, developed and validated in collaboration with Fusion for Energy (F4E).Tungsten is a key material for extreme environments due to its high melting point, density, and radiation resistance. However, producing dense and reliable tungsten parts, especially with complex geometries, remains a major challenge for conventional manufacturing and most additive technologies.Freemelt’s E-PBF technology overcomes these limitations, enabling high-performance tungsten components with properties not achievable through other manufacturing routes.

Key features and advantages
