  Freemelt and Etteplan enter into strategic partnership in 3D printing. As part of the strategic partnership Freemelt and Etteplan are working together to develop and industrialize Freemelt’s next metal 3D printer. Freemelt is specialized in metal 3D printing based on Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (E-PBF). The new printer will be tailored for an industrial context with technical attributes such as robustness, reliability and productivity. Etteplan’s role in the development project includes delivering project teams in different expertise areas such as software, mechanical, electrical, safety and documentation to speed up the development until release of the new printer. The cooperation will transform into production engineering, product support and application engineering for AM products moving forward.
