Meltio - Wire DED Metal 3D Printer

MELTIO

MELTIO-AFFORDABLE WIRE LASER DED TECHNOLOGY

Meltio is redefining metal 3D printing with its proprietary wire-laser deposition technology, offering a compact, cost-effective solution for producing fully dense, industrial-grade metal parts. Unlike powder-based systems, Meltio uses standard welding wire — making it safe, clean, and easy to adopt in any workshop or factory.

Whether you're building new components or repairing existing ones, Meltio enables reliable metal printing in a standalone unit or integrated directly onto CNC machines and robotic arms.

MULTI-LASER BLUE DEPOSITION HEAD

Enhance performance and reliability

Augmented energy delivery efficiency reduces energy consumption, making it a cost-saving process, thanks to the blue laser diodes

Blue Light

450 nm light improves energy absorption and printing efficiency across the metal material spectrum.

No Calibration

It arrives aligned from the factory for maximum printing repeatability and minimal maintenance.

Hotwire Compatible

The deposition head is developed to used with an optional hotwire supply to increase the deposition rate and allow for more materials to be processed.

High Efficiency

The energy consumption per component is reduced significantly, resulting in a greener and more cost-efficient process.

MULTI-LASER IR DEPOSITION HEAD

Make accesible repair works

It comes packaged in a compact deposition head, a host of multiple lasers, and capable of processing single, dual and quad wire simultaneously.

Integrated Wire Feed/s

Critical for high process reliability and unique to Meltio. Short distance from feeder to process is necessary for maximum wire feeding precision.

Coaxial Wire Feed

Can print geometries in any direction. Wire comes through the center of the melt pool thanks to the distributed laser system.

Shield Gas Ring

The head prevent oxidation through a large nozzle ring with very good gas distribution just a few millimeters from the melt pool.

This is defined automatically on Meltio Space:

Deposition Height and Widths
Material Selection (Dual Wire)
Overlaps, Infill Type, Infill Density and Angles, Seam
Speeds (Perimeters, infill, and travel speeds)

And also defines on Meltio Engine:

Laser Power, Feeder Speed, and Argon Flow

MELTIO SLICING STRATEGIES

More than 10 Slicing Strategies for industrial use

Combine and sequence different Slicing Strategies on only one manufacturing program, developed specifically for robot systems based on Meltio’s experience.

Planar Strategies

Conventional 3-axis slicing, horizontal or angled with up to two materials in the same process, limited by maximum overhang angle.

Ideal for simple geometries like pistons, drill bits, cranks, molds with internal conformal cooling channels, and differential growth heat exchangers.

Non-planar or Freeform based strategies

Cladding or coat single and double curvature surfaces and freeform surfaces with the strongest and high wear resistance materials.

Recover the life of dies and molds, as well as knives and or any worn part using just the necessary amount of material, with the best properties.

Add features or repairs on top of any surface like reinforcements, brackets, blades, teeth.

Radial strategies

Add features on bars or rods of your desired material and avoid machining large volumes of material, recommended for propellers (blades can be solid or hollow), camshafts, screw compressors, and mixers.

Coat, clad, or repair shafts and bars with the highest material properties.

Strategies for Revolved Surfaces

Manufacture rotary symmetrical parts like rocket nozzles, vases, spherical, and cylindrical tanks with your desired thickness and the best surface quality with this slicing that follows the geometry.

Advanced Variable Deposition Strategies

Manufacture directly on top of flanges different curved pipes and manifolds without the need to depend on standard curvature radii to fit properly your design.

Admits also has pipes and manifolds with variable diameters along the part.
