Platform for Machining and Additive Manufacturing
Compatible with nearly all CNC machines, this platform facilitates the simultaneous metal 3D printing and machining of intricate geometries within a single process step.
Hybrid Manufacturing
Produce intricate components with machining precision within a unified manufacturing process.
Retrofitting
Equip any CNC machine with enhanced capabilities by transforming it into a hybrid metal manufacturing system.
Repair
Affordable component repair, part enhancement, and additional feature integration.
Geometry Freedom
There are no inherent limitations when the operational space is solely determined by the dimensions of the motion system.

Metal 3D Printing Experiences

” If we compare with other makers of laser, with Meltio >we’ve had the clearer deposition in thousands of parts, and that is nice to see. We can also make some parts that are impossible to make without Meltio’s technology.
We can produce one part with one configuration, then another one with a total different one. Without Meltio’s technology, we wouldn’t be able to do it because the costs would be too high. “
