Wire-Laser Metal 3D Printing
A disruptive Directed Energy Deposition technology by Meltio.
About Meltio
Meltio takes metal additive manufacturing to the next level by developing and manufacturing high-performance, affordable, and easy-to-use metal 3D printing solutions using wire-laser metal deposition (LMD) technology.
Meltio, founded in 2019 and based in Linares (Spain), develops and fabricates high-quality disruptive products aimed at high-profile industrial end customers and R&D organizations, such as universities and research-oriented companies.
The current portfolio of metal solutions includes the Meltio M450 metal 3D printer, the Meltio Engine CNC Integration, which turns virtually any CNC machine into a powerful hybrid manufacturing center, and the Meltio Engine Robot Integration, which is the perfect platform for large and complex 3D printing, repair, cladding, and feature addition.
The company’s latest product launch, Meltio Robot Cell is an affordable turn-key solution for the Meltio Engine Robot Integration. All of the systems share the same patented LMD-based (a type of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process) process capable of manufacturing parts using commodity welding wire.
Our mission is to delight customers, partners and employees by pioneering the development of affordable metal 3D printing solutions that are reliable, safe and easy to use, continually reinforcing our status as disruptors.
More than 300 systems
We’ve recently reached an outstanding milestone: we’ve sold more than 300 systems around the globe. That is not on us, it’s thanks to all our trusted users who are already printing the present to manufacture the future.

Each material category includes specific alloys designed to meet the demanding requirements of aerospace, automotive, and medical industries, among others, ensuring parts produced are of the highest standard.
Disruptive Technology
A cost-effective wire laser metal deposition technology. LMD is a Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process that functions by precisely stacking layers of weld beads when introduced into the laser-generated melt pool.
Safe and Reliable
The bulk of the 3D printing process is built around wire, the safest, cleanest, and easiest to work with metal feedstock.
Multi-Material System
Print dual wire for hard-facing or anti-corrosion applications, or wire and dual-wire to create new alloys on the fly.
Integration Ready
Turn an existing CNC or robotic platform into a hybrid manufacturing system with no inherent size constraints.
Accessible
The only metal 3D printing process able to deliver fully dense and affordable metal parts within a few hours.

” We were looking for a metal 3D printing technology with a compact metal 3D printer and that is one of the main advantages of adopting Meltio’s technology. The Meltio M450 metal 3D printer allows us to work with various materials.
My students have published two papers on Meltio’s DED technology and we can conclude that it is satisfactory and positive. We printed stainless steel and the experience was very adequate with the M450. We also highlight the Dual-Wire. “
Northwestern University is an American University that uses Meltio’s technology for research purposes.
