What if we could harness the power of the sun right here on Earth? That’s the game-changing potential of nuclear fusion—a nearly limitless, safe, clean, and sustainable energy source. Turning this vision into reality requires visionary research, groundbreaking innovation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
One key element in this effort is high-purity tungsten, essential for critical fusion reactor components like the divertor. The complex substructural design of next generation divertors can only be achieved through advanced manufacturing processes.
At Dunlee, we bring extensive expertise in manufacturing complex tungsten components for medical imaging and operate Europe’s largest additive manufacturing facility dedicated to pure tungsten.
A Major Milestone in Fusion Research Leveraging this expertise, Dr. Naveed Ur Rahman from Dunlee has partnered with Dr. Hans van Dommelen and Prof. Dr. Marc Geers (TU Eindhoven) and Dr. Thomas Morgan (DIFFER) to advance the development of tungsten-based components for nuclear fusion. We are excited to announce that this collaboration has been awarded the Dutch Research Council (NWO)-OTP Grant 2024 for their project: “Development of Additively Manufactured Tungsten Heat Shields for Nuclear Fusion.” This breakthrough could be pivotal in unlocking the potential of fusion energy. At Dunlee, we are extremely proud to play a key role in shaping the future of sustainable energy. Congratulations to Dr. Naveed Ur Rahman and our esteemed partners for this remarkable achievement!
