MELTIO officially presented the new version of the MELTIO Engine, a fabrication module which enables 3D printing of full density metal parts when integrated with CNC machines, robots and gantry systems. The result is the first affordable hybrid manufacturing solution, catering to almost every tooling machine in the market.
This revamped model is the result of several months of R&D development after the first public presentation of MELTIO’s products portfolio at Formnext 2019, with some interesting features. This new version stands out for its portability and compact dimensions, it measures 94x75x45 cm, which allows an easy integration with most of the CNC, robotic and gantry systems that exist today, converting them into hybrid manufacturing systems. The Engine also includes a powerful on-board computer with integrated touchscreen and a feature rich GUI for an easy operation and monitoring of manufacturing jobs.
The MELTIO Engine enables hybrid manufacturing when integrated to other technologies
MELTIO’s CEO, Ángel Llavero highlights: “After the launch of the M450, the MELTIO Engine moves the MELTIO LMD to a new format with which it will solve one of the great historical limitations that additive manufacturing had: the ability to manufacture large parts. Now the part size is limited only by the capacity of the robot, the gantry or the CNC in which the MELTIO Engine is integrated”.
