EPoS Technologies SA is an advanced materials engineering and manufacturing company based in Villaz-Saint-Pierre (Canton Fribourg). The company specializes in the rapid production of net-shape metal and composite parts from metal powders using its proprietary Electro-Sinter-Forging (ESF / eForging) technology.
Combining principles of powder metallurgy, field-assisted sintering technology (FAST), and mechanical forging, EPoS superimposes a high-energy electrical current pulse with rapid mechanical compaction. This enables instantaneous powder densification into dense net-shape components in fractions of a second, drastically cutting energy consumption and enabling processing of refractory, non-ferrous, and novel metal matrix alloys.
