Today, we're diving into the captivating world of Direct Energy Deposition (DED) 3D printing with the revolutionary Meltio M450 system. If you've ever wondered how to transform your part designs into stunning printed prototypes or functional end-use products, you're in for a treat. Today we are going to explore the step-by-step process of going from part design to final print. Let's get started!
The use of wire feedstock with a laser energy source in DED has gained momentum in recent years, with increasing research and industrial applications. These features make it a new and promising option in the field of additive manufacturing, generating significant interest and exploration across various industries.
Meltio has launched the Meltio Robot Cell, a turn-key metal 3D printing solution to boost the performance of industrial robotic arms in a safer, more reliable, and highly accurate way by controlling the entire process including its recently launched slicing software, Meltio Space.
In recent years, 3D printing has emerged as a game-changer in the manufacturing industry, offering unparalleled design freedom and production efficiency. Among the leading innovators in this field is Markforged, a company that has brought forth a number of remarkable technological breakthroughs. Markforged printers are revolutionizing industrial manufacturing by enabling the production of functional, end-use parts with exceptional strength and versatility.
In additive manufacturing, if you want to succeed, then you need high speeds. The crucial question remains: how can you maintain quality while significantly ramping up production speeds?
It helps to have a better understanding of how 3D printing speeds are defined, what they mean for your prints, and tried and tested ways of producing parts faster. To learn more, read our thorough guide below.
Even though airplanes are flying machines packed with technology, passengers typically perceive them as cramped yet passably comfortable traveling environments. Covers and panels hide all the actuators, cables, and electrical and mechanical devices in the plane walls. They also safely shield functional components from passengers while also contributing to the look and feel of the interior cabin space. These panels are commonly made from fiberglass composite materials due to the combination of low weights with high stiffness and load-bearing capabilities.

EXBuild, and Meltio; a disruptive laser metal deposition technology manufacturer today announced that EXBuild is going to play a key role in the distribution and support of the Meltio wire laser metal 3D printing solutions in the Midwestern & Mountain West market, as an official sales partner.
Since announcing plans to acquire Teton Simulation Software in April 2022, Markforged has been working to integrate Teton’s SmartSlice technology into our familiar Eiger workflow. Now it’s here: offered as a free trial.
Subtractive manufacturing (computer numerical control, or CNC machining) has been one of the most preeminent manufacturing methods for the past several decades. Introduced in the 1940’s, subtractive manufacturing was used as a tool to machine highly complex parts that require optimal precision. Essentially, the process involves subtracting or cutting from a block of material to create an end product. Today, subtractive manufacturing comes in many different forms (milling, turning, laser cutting, wire EDM, and carving) and is used for a wide variety of prototyping, production and assembly line applications.
