Two events on November 2: Fusion for Energy (F4E), the European fusion organization, announced its Supply Chain Excellence Awards, with Sweden's Freemelt receiving the Innovation Pioneer award — recognizing that its earlier R&D contract validated a new additive manufacturing route for tungsten materials, which led to a contract to produce 33,000 tungsten-based parts by E-PBF for Japan's JT-60SA project (the order itself was reported in the September 10 daily). On the same day, Freemelt resolved a fully guaranteed rights issue of approximately SEK 152 million (underwritten by institutions including DNB, pending EGM approval) to raise funds for expanding tungsten additive manufacturing capacity. The long-term demand signal for spherical tungsten powder consumed in batch production of fusion reactor tungsten components continues, while also demonstrating institutional recognition within the European fusion supply chain for the electron beam powder bed refractory metals route.
