CNC Integration
Hybrid manufacture
Deposit the near-net geometry, then use machining where finished accuracy and surface requirements matter.
Metal Additive Manufacturing
Make. Repair. Rethink metal.
Industrial metal additive manufacturing with Meltio Wire-Laser DED - from production-ready standalone systems to CNC and robotic integration.

Wire-Laser Directed Energy Deposition
Why Meltio
Metal AM designed around industrial production.
Meltio's approach combines metal wire feedstock with laser energy to deposit material where it is needed - enabling new-part manufacture, repair, feature addition and hybrid workflows.
Wire feedstock
Practical handling for industrial environments and a broad range of metal applications.
Near-net-shape production
Build material where needed, then machine critical surfaces when the application requires it.
Multiple deployment routes
Standalone M600 and M450, CNC integration, robotic integration and turnkey Robot Cell.
Application-led adoption
3DGBIRE helps identify the part, process and Meltio configuration that makes sense before you invest.
Meltio systems
One technology. Different production routes.
Real metal. Real applications.
See what the process looks like.
Application proof
From deposition to finished component.
Robot Cell - Robot Integration
Automated repair
Build material onto an existing component rather than automatically treating replacement as the only route.
M600 - Integration
Complex metal components
Use application-led metal deposition for specialist geometries, low volumes and production challenges.

Find the right Meltio solution
Answer a few questions about your part and we'll point you to the Meltio system most likely to suit it. This is a starting point, not a technical approval.
Titanium needs a controlled, inert environment.
For example, depositing material and machining it in the same workflow.
Consider the maximum dimensions of the finished part.

Meltio M600 All-in-One Metal Printing Platform
Your part fits the M600's 300 × 400 × 600 mm build envelope. Its laser-safe, fully inert chamber controls oxygen and humidity, which suits reactive metals such as titanium. The built-in touch probe and zero-point clamping make it ready for production.
- Build envelope
- 300 × 400 × 600 mm (W × D × H)
- Laser
- 9 × 450 nm blue direct diode lasers, 1,000 W total
- Chamber
- Laser-safe, fully inert, with oxygen and humidity control
- Wire
- 0.8–1.2 mm; up to 4 materials with the Quad Wire upgrade
- Probing
- Built-in automated XYZ touch probe
- Compatible materials
- Stainless Steel Wire, Carbon Steel Wire, Tool Steel Wire, Nickel Alloy Wire, Titanium Alloy Wire, Copper Alloy Wire, Aluminium & more.

Meltio Engine Integration Kit for Vertical Machining Centres
You need machining during the build. The Meltio Engine CNC Integration kit adds a blue-laser wire deposition head to a vertical machining centre, so you can 3D print metal and machine it in a single process. It's ideal for near-net-shape parts, repair and feature addition.
- Perfect parts
- In-print machining allows for finished parts right out of the printer.
- Compatible materials
- Stainless Steel Wire, Carbon Steel Wire, Tool Steel Wire, Nickel Alloy Wire, Titanium Alloy Wire, Copper Alloy Wire, Aluminium & more.
- CNC compatibility
- Contact the team for a list of approved CNCs

Meltio Robot Cell
Your part is larger than the M600's build envelope. The Robot Cell is a turnkey, laser-safe cell that pairs an ABB robot arm and positioner with the Meltio Engine Blue, for large parts, repair, cladding and feature addition. An optional inert bubble provides a controlled atmosphere for reactive metals such as titanium.
- Build volume
- Create large parts thanks to 2000 × 1000 × 1000 mm build volume
- Design freedom
- 8-axis robotic metal printing
- Compatible materials
- Stainless Steel Wire, Carbon Steel Wire, Tool Steel Wire, Nickel Alloy Wire, Titanium Alloy Wire, Copper Alloy Wire, Aluminium & more.
- Applications
- Industrial replacement parts, tooling, shafts, flanges, wear surfaces, large metal prototypes and application development in aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, mining and research environments.
