Industrial Metal 3D Printer
Meltio Engine Integration Kit for Industrial Robots
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.
Large-Scale Metal 3D Printing
Overcome traditional manufacturing limitations, producing intricate geometries that were previously impossible or too costly to realize.
Large Scale
No inherent constraints when the working envelope is only limited by the size of the motion system.
Cladding
Provide new capabilities to any robot arm by turning it into a metal 3D printing system.
Geometry Freedom
Create highly complex parts with infinite degrees of freedom.
Part Repair
Easily solve spare part problems by repairing parts that are no longer produced in any industry.

Dimensions (W*D*H):
202*297*784mm
Weight: 15.5kg
Minimum requirements for a successful integration of the Meltio Engine with a robot arm are:
- Payload of at least 20kg (60kg recommended)
- More than 3 digital input ports available
- More than 3 digital output ports available
- Enclosed room with safety locks
- Laser safe windows and/or camera
*A laser safety enclosure and safety interlocks for the robot cell are not included. These additional hardware items are to be sourced by the integrator or end user customer because they will depend on the final application and installation facilities.
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.
External Wire Drum
Draw from an external wire source. Drums from 100kg may be used for convenience.
Compatible Material
