This video showcases how the USS Bataan uses advanced metal 3D printing technology, developed in part by Meltio, to improve self-sufficiency at sea by enabling rapid, on-board production of fully functional replacement parts.

By integrating Meltio’s Wire Laser Metal 3D Printing solution, the Navy can carry out critical repairs and manufacture essential components without depending entirely on traditional supply chains. This enhances operational readiness and reduces logistical constraints.

Meltio’s technology helps address the challenge of part obsolescence, supporting long-term maintenance of ships and systems with extended service lives.
