Meltio Engine Robot Integration – Meltio’s metal additive manufacturing technology offers two metal AM solutions, the turn key M450 metal 3D Printer and the scalable Meltio Engine for easy integration with industrial motion hardware such as CNC machines and robot cells.
Industrial Metal 3D Printer
Turn a robot arm into a metal 3D printing system with no inherent size constraints. The Meltio Engine Robot Integration is the perfect platform for large and complex 3D printing, repair, cladding and feature addition.
The most affordable large scale metal 3D printing solution, the Meltio Engine integrates with any robot arm manufacturer and interface in the market.
High Complexity
Create highly complex parts with infinite degrees of freedom.
Retrofitting
Provide new capability to any robot arm by turning it into a metal 3D printing system.
Part Repair
Cost-effective component repair, part augmentation and feature addition.
Large Size
No inherent constraints when the working envelope is only limited by the size of the motion system.

Upgrades and Accessories
Upgrades and Accessories
Hot Wire
Programmable power supply that preheats the material to increase the deposition rate.
Dual Wire
This option allows to 3D print two wire materials sequentially with very quick wire switches.
Powder Feeder
Necessary to 3D print from powder feedstock, unlocks on the fly metal alloying.
External Wire Drum
Draw from an external wire source. Drums from 100kg may be used for convenience.
