Meltio Engine CNC integration
Transform any machine tool into a hybrid manufacturing system without intrinsic size constraints. The Meltio Engine is the ideal CNC complement for manufacturing, repairing, and adding features near net shape.
The most affordable hybrid manufacturing solution, suitable for almost any CNC machine on the market. Enable metal 3D printing and machining of complex geometries in a single process step.
Hybrid Manufacturing
Create highly complex parts with machining tolerances in the same process.
Retrofitting
Provide new capabilities to any CNC machine by transforming it into a hybrid metal manufacturing system.
Parts Repair
Cost-effective component repair, part build-up, and feature addition.
Geometric Freedom
No intrinsic constraints when the working area is only limited by the size of the motion system.
