Metal 3D Printing Experiences
Daniel Hasic
3D Printing Specialist / ROEZ
” I don’t know how much Meltio saved us, but I can tell you it saved us a lot, and then that’s why we bought the Meltio, to print this case and to reduce the cost of the machining and also reduce the cost of the raw material.
We chose the Meltio M450 as our first choice because we can print a lot of materials directly from the package.“
