Customer validation & Success stories
We are using the Meltio Robot Cell to repair high-value mining equipment. By cladding wear-resistant layers onto worn shafts and crushers, we extend the life of heavy machinery by 300% compared to buying new parts.
Integration was seamless. We mounted the Meltio head onto our existing ABB robot arm, transforming a standard handling bot into a flexible metal manufacturing cell without altering our factory floor layout.
We wanted a solution that would allow us to produce large, custom parts internally — without the overhead of tooling, molds, or external delays. Meltio’s technology, combined with robotic freedom, gave us exactly that.
We’ve opened a really unique design space through 3D printing. This project has demonstrated that additive manufacturing has the potential to produce very strong, stiff structures that will be good for marine energy.
