The Meltio Engine Integration Kit allows you to retrofit almost any CNC vertical machining center to create a fully functional and affordable hybrid manufacturing system that combines metal 3D printing and machining of complex geometries into a single convenient workflow. With this highly efficient solution, the only constraint is the size of the motion system.
Ideal for near-net shape manufacturing, component repair, part augmentation, and feature addition, this versatile capability increases cost-effectiveness and efficiency, and is available with IR lasers, or with blue lasers for greater absorption and a wider range of compatible materials.
Hybrid Manufacturing – create highly complex parts with machining tolerances, all in the same workflow
Part Repair – ideal for cost-effective component repair, part augmentation, and feature addition, minimizing downtime and freeing you from reliance on external providers
Retrofitting – the cost-effective capability allows you to provide CNC machine with new capabilities by turning it into a hybrid metal manufacturing system
Geometric Freedom – print designs have no inherent constraints, and the working envelope is limited only by the size of the motion system
