ColdMetalFusion - 3D printing solution for electrolyzers
Bipolar plates are technologically and economically advantageous for the energy transition thanks to their production using ColdMetalFusion, a binder-based metal 3D printing technology.

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic components is typically used for prototypes and small series production. Unlike other AM technologies, ColdMetalFusion (CMF) was developed for use in series applications. This allows even larger quantities to be produced economically using CMF.
CMF can therefore achieve a shorter development phase for fuel cells and then be used directly for series production. The well-known AM advantages regarding design optimization and functional integration also apply to CMF.
In addition, CMF optimizes the entire process chain of a component, e.g., through uniform surface roughness across all surfaces. Compared to LPBF, no support structures remain on the component after 3D printing. This is a significant advantage, especially for the production of bipolar plates.
