Metal 3D Printing Experiences

R&D Integrations Director / Sivó
” 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.
