To accelerate progress in additive manufacturing (AM) and support the industry’s transformation, Freemelt is establishing an Advisory Board composed of leading industry experts. The goal is to create a platform for open dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collaboration that drives AM development forward.
Freemelt aims to take an active role in driving innovation and industrialization of AM by combining advanced technology with strategic partnerships. AM has the potential to play a critical role in addressing global challenges, such as rising energy demand and the development of alternative energy sources like fusion, while also contributing to Europe’s increase in defense capability. The technology further enables large-scale regional manufacturing and improved productivity.
