MDR Sachsenspiegel reports on our spin-off from TU Bergakademie Freiberg

Video: MDR Sachsenspiegel · Report: Monika Di Carlo

MDR visited us for its regional news programme Sachsenspiegel at the Institute of Mineral Processing Machines and Recycling Systems Technology (IART) of TU Bergakademie Freiberg. The report shows how we turn copper scrap into high-quality copper powder for additive manufacturing and sintering — purely mechanically, without melting and without inert gas.

Alongside Eric Trebeck and Julius Eik Grimmenstein from our founding team, Karina Sopp, Vice-Rector for Sustainability and Entrepreneurship at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, also speaks in the report. For us it marks a milestone on the way from research to our own company: from December 2026 we are building our pilot line within the EXIST research transfer programme, and the company is set to be founded in 2028.

Many thanks to the MDR team and to everyone at TU Bergakademie Freiberg who supports us along the way.
