ACCESSIBLE METAL INNOVATION
Meltio M450 revolutionizes metal 3D printing with unprecedented accessibility and affordability.
Its low acquisition and operational costs make industrial-grade metal fabrication financially viable for more businesses.
Requiring no specialized infrastructure and being compatible with standard welding wires, this compact system brings professional metal printing capabilities to workshops, labs, and facilities previously priced out of the market.
INTEGRATE SAFELY & SEAMLESSLY
Safety comes standard with the Meltio M450.
Unlike powder-based systems, its wire feedstock eliminates contamination and inhalation risks. The printer's sealed chamber contains the entire printing process, while the integrated 3-stage filter removes potential airborne particles.
This safety-first approach allows placement in virtually any workspace without special infrastructure or protective equipment for truly seamless integration.
ROBUST RELIABILITY
Reliability isn't an afterthought with the Meltio M450—it's built into every operation.
The printer's advanced process control constantly analyzes printing parameters, making instantaneous adjustments to maintain optimal conditions. This intelligent oversight ensures predictable outcomes and minimal waste, bringing industrial-grade dependability to standard environments for small to medium part manufacturing.
SINGLE-STEP PROCESSING
Metal fabrication becomes remarkably accessible with the Meltio M450's streamlined single-step process. The system's intuitive interface, combined with automatic toolpath generation and comprehensive material profiles, creates true operational simplicity.
Advanced process control continuously monitors and self-regulates during printing, ensuring consistent quality while users enjoy the straightforward path from design to high-density metal part production.
MELTIO HORIZON
Meltio Horizon is a specialized 3D printer slicer software tailored for metal 3D printing using Meltio's laser-wire deposition process.
It offers simplified profile selection, optimizes material usage, incorporates Meltio-specific settings and materials, and so much more. The LMD printing process is simplified, part quality is enhanced, and future service possibilities are expanded.
Reach new metal 3D printing heights on your Meltio M450 3D printer with Meltio Horizon.
WHY LMD TECH?
Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is a cost-effective 3D printing technology that uses wire or powder feedstock to build metal parts layer by layer. It employs a powerful laser to fuse the material onto a build platform or existing part.
This particular process offers faster build rates than powder bed fusion, produces fully dense parts within hours, and is ideal for repairing high-end components. It's versatile and works with various metals like stainless steel and titanium so you can skip the production of green parts and go straight into manufacturing the real deal.
