Metal 3D printer manufacturer Meltio has introduced the Meltio Engine Blue integration kit.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with industrial robotic arms and vertical machining centers, this new system aims to enhance the process of metal 3D printing parts. Leveraging factory-calibrated Blue Laser technology, it offers substantial improvements in productivity, energy efficiency, and ease of use, building on the foundations of the Meltio Engine V3.
The manufacturer is demonstrating Meltio Engine Blue’s versatility with metal parts made from marine bronze, copper, dual-wire materials, and a build plate integrating tool steel, mild steel, marine bronze, and stainless steel, highlighting its capability for multi-material and complex material production.
Boasting a deposition rate that is up to 3.5 times higher than its predecessor and a 30% reduction in energy consumption, this system highlights its efficiency in metal AM processes. Simplified installation and maintenance are achieved through a compact, lightweight design that eliminates components like fibre optics and collimators.
These updates enhance operational reliability, allowing the creation of high-density, durable metal parts for industries like aerospace, automotive, defence, energy, maritime, mining, and oil and gas, with various materials that can be processed with precision.
