Freemelt, Saab, and Linköping University Strengthen Additive Manufacturing for Defense Applications

Freemelt has been accepted into a Vinnova-funded project aimed at developing and verifying additive manufacturing of high-performance materials using Freemelt’s E-PBF (Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion) technology. In collaboration with Saab Dynamics and Linköping University, Freemelt will contribute to advancing additive manufacturing of oxygen-free copper with extremely high purity and controlled microstructure, a material with significant potential for advanced defense applications.

The project will validate Freemelt’s technology through a demonstrator specifically designed for Saab Dynamics applications, underscoring Freemelt's leadership in additive manufacturing and E-PBF. The goal is to establish additive manufacturing for defense applications with high performance and sustainability, while also creating shorter, more secure supply chains for critical materials.

Freemelt brings its expertise in E-PBF and additive manufacturing to the project, enabling local production of advanced materials. Linköping University will provide material science research, and Saab Dynamics will focus on developing practical applications for the defense sector.

“This collaboration is an exciting step forward in making manufacturing more resilient and sustainable. Freemelt’s advanced E-PBF technology will play a key role in strengthening Sweden’s defense industry to meet future challenges,” says Daniel Gidlund, CEO of Freemelt.
