On-demand repair and manufacturing
Defense Sector
Global supply chain disruptions threaten defense readiness. Meltio provides the solution: on-demand metal part production with autonomous Wire-Laser Metal 3D Printing.
Our technology combines safety, reliability, and easy integration. With Meltio, defense forces now possess viable options to overcome supply chain fragility, extend platform lifecycles, and ensure availability of critical components in contested environments at the point of need.
Enhanced operational readiness
A robust and adaptable solution that optimizes the production, repair and customization of parts, thus strengthening the effectiveness and sustainability of military operations.
Material versatility
Work with a wide range of common military-grade metals. This allows for the production of parts with high strength and density, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance.
Rapid prototyping & R&D
Rapid iteration on designs, autonomously and with minimal reliance on external providers, accelerating the development cycle for new military hardware.
Parts at the point of use
On-demand repair and manufacturing of critical components and weaponry, minimising the logistical burden of stocking hundreds of spares.
Legacy components
Reduced lead times from weeks to hours by creating replacement parts for legacy systems, ships, and vehicles that manufacturers no longer support.

– Strategic technology partner
– The first hybrid machine was installed in a deployable
shipping container at Rock Island Arsenal in 2021
– By Meltio’s partner, Phillips Corporation
“If the crew had to rely on a replacement part without using additive manufacturing, it would have taken weeks or months. With this technology, we’ll have the new component printed and ready for installation before the order for a replacement would be completed”.

– NAVSEA enabled quicker AM part approval by waterfront engineers for low-risk components.
– AM saved over 80% of the typical production time.
– NAVSEA ensures U.S. Navy ships and systems are mission-ready worldwide.
Deployable Hybrid Manufacturing Center
Snowbird
– Reverse Osmosis Pump Bushing
– New part was printed and machined faster
– Saving time, money, space, and increasing overall warfighter readiness
– By Meltio’s partner, Snowbird
“We have empowered and equipped our waterfront and forward-deployed engineers and maintainers that directly support our warfighters. This project executed with our Spanish allies further proves the significant readiness AM generates for our ships, restoring a critical system while meeting the compressed timeline for the ship’s forward-deployed patrol.”
