The Meltio Engine is the ideal complement for near-net shape manufacturing, repair and feature addition.
Machining and Additive Manufacturing Platform
Install metal additive capabilities directly to your Vertical Machining Center and 3D print to near net shape and finish machining in a single part setup.
Hybrid Manufacturing
Create highly complex parts with machining tolerances in the same process.
Part Repair
Cost-effective component repair, part augmentation, and feature addition.
Retrofitting
Provide new capability to any CNC machine by turning it into an hybrid metal manufacturing system.
Geometry Freedom
No inherent constraints when the working envelope is only limited by the size of the motion system.

” If we compare with other makers of laser, with Meltio we’ve had the clearer deposition in thousands of parts, and that is nice to see. We can also make some parts that are impossible to make without Meltio’s technology.
We can produce one part with one configuration, then another one with a total different one. Without Meltio’s technology, we wouldn’t be able to do it because the costs would be too high. “
Sivó is a Spanish company specialized in the repair of glass molds using a Meltio Engine CNC Integration.
