Customer validation & Success stories
Integrating Meltio into our Haas CNC machine gave us the ability to repair complex mold geometries. We machine away the damage, print new H11 tool steel, and finish it back to original tolerance—all without moving the part.
We use the Meltio Engine CNC to add features to existing forged shafts. This 'Hybrid' approach saves us from machining 90% of the material away from a billet. We only print the material we need, exactly where we need it." R&D Engineer Metal Forming Division
The Hybrid manufacturing capability is revolutionary for our pump impellers. We print the rough geometry and immediately machine it to final tolerance in the same setup. It reduced our lead time from 8 weeks (casting) to just 3 days.
The ability to 3D print stainless steel directly onboard a naval vessel allows us to maintain operational readiness at sea. Meltio’s use of standard welding wire solves the logistics problem—we don't need to carry hazardous powders, just spools of wire.
