The French Navy has already validated the use of Meltio’s patented additive manufacturing technology for actual offshore maneuvers. Recently, the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle required the help of Meltio’s technology to manufacture and repair stainless steel metal parts to continue the experimental phase of the Meltio M450 metal 3D printer.
Every additive manufacturing company says that their latest product offering is “groundbreaking” and “revolutionary”, which can get a little tiresome and make it difficult to really understand if any AM technology will actually make a positive impact for your business. With the recent launch of the M600 from Meltio, the loft promises of a groundbreaking technology are still there, BUT I believe there are six unique aspects of this machine that will help it deliver real value for those who need to produce metal components.
The new Meltio M600 is designed to solve problems of long lead times, costly stock-keeping and increasingly fragile supply chains, thanks to its unique metal 3D printing technology. This new system increases productivity and reduces manufacturing costs, brings new materials to the table and most importantly is ready to perform 24/7 with minimal operator interaction for autonomous production.
As an innovative approach to additive manufacturing, wire-based 3D printing offers a range of benefits that set it apart from traditional powdered feedstock methods. Here are some of the advantages:
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.
