Korea boasts numerous precision manufacturers with capabilities across various fusion component areas, recognized for their expertise in manufacturing components for Korea's KSTAR fusion project and the international ITER fusion project. Korean manufacturers excel in areas such as superconducting magnets, cryostats, thermal shields, vacuum vessels, and power supply equipment.

While Korean manufacturers are renowned for their excellence in quality, scheduling, and cost-effectiveness, they have faced challenges in receiving orders directly from fusion developers due to the extremely demanding physical and engineering requirements.

EnableFusion's Fusion Engineering Platform (FEP) bridges the gap between fusion developers and Korean precision manufacturers. This two-sided platform connects fusion developers and PPPs on the demand side with Korean manufacturers as partner suppliers on the supply side.

EnableFusion transforms complex requirements from fusion developers into digitally re-designed and re-engineered specifications on the FEP. This digital design, along with manufacturing procedures and guidelines, is then provided to manufacturers to seamlessly produce fusion devices with guaranteed performance.

EnableFusion offers a full suite of services to streamline the development process.
EnableFusion's key roles with the FEP are:

With this full suite of services, fusion developers can evaluate and develop new desired technologies much faster. EnableFusion's success will significantly accelerate commercialization by allowing fusion developers to focus solely on new fusion technologies without manufacturing concerns.

EnableFusion will conduct all re-design and re-engineering digitally on the FEP using digital twins and AI, providing cyber-physical simulation capabilities to further accelerate commercialization for fusion developers.

EnableFusion envisions playing the foundry role in fusion similar to NVIDIA's in AI, with an initial goal to "help fusion developers accelerate commercialization by enabling them to order, install and evaluate desired fusion devices as easily and quickly as possible."

Expertise in interpreting requirements from Fusion Developers

• Comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge Fusion technology, engineering, and industry trends
• Experienced engineering team with internationally proven experience and reputation

Requirements Translation, Digital Re-engineering, and Engineering Guidance

• Converting fusion developer’s requirements so that Korean precision manufacturers can understand and respond to them
• Performing digital re-engineering to provide engineering guidance for easy and accurate production

Efficient Outsourcing and Project Management
