Industrial Metal 3D Printer

Meltio Engine Hybrid Manufacturing CNC Integration

Meltio Engine CNC Integration

Turn any machine tool into an hybrid manufacturing system with no inherent size constraints. The Meltio Engine is the ideal CNC complement for near net shape manufacturing, repair and feature addition.

Meltio Engine CNC Integration – Industrial Metal 3D Printer

Hybrid Manufacturing Integration

The most affordable hybrid manufacturing solution, fitting almost any CNC machine in the market. Enable metal 3D printing and machining of complex geometries in a single process step.

Hybrid Manufacturing

Create highly complex parts with machining tolerances in the same process.

Retrofitting

Provide new capability to any CNC machine by turning it into an hybrid metal manufacturing system.

Part Repair

Cost-effective component repair, part augmentation and feature addition.

Geometry Freedom

No inherent constraints when the working envelope is only limited by the size of the motion system.

Key Integration Requirements

Includes actuated mounting hardware where the deposition head is stored in a sealed enclosure when not in use and automatically deployed when needed.

Spindle motors can handle the additional weight.

Deployment mechanism can be mounted without collitions.

5 – 8 digital input ports available.

1 – 7 digital output ports available.

Ability to add a NO relays to the feed hold.

Possibility to add safety integration (depending on the integration).

Laser safety windows can be mounted.

Ability to add feed resume/start buttons.

*The integration will require laser safety windows, door safety interlocks and sheet metal protection for any penetrations in the roof or side walls of the machine. These hardware items are to be sourced by the integrator and depend on the CNC machine of choice.

Upgrades and Accessories

Dual Wire:	This option allows to 3D print two wire materials sequentially with very quick wire switches.
Laser Alignment System:	It allows users to calibrate Meltio’s multi-laser deposition head accurately and effortlessly prior to every print.
