Meltio Horizon
Optimized toolpath generation for the Meltio M600
Slicing made easy
Simpler profile selection and premade profiles that cover a large range of geometries and qualities. Churn out great-looking parts faster without compromising surface finish.
Technical Specifications
Meltio Horizon is a proprietary slicer that ensures a fully tailored customer experience around our industrial metal 3D printer, the Meltio M600 with its own unique features and custom-developed Meltio print and material profiles included.
| 2 Seats per license: | Each license comes with two seats for installation on two separate computers. |
|---|---|
| Tailor-made to laser and Dual-wire: | Made to measure for Meltio’s wire-laser metal 3D printing process as well as it also comes with built-in profiles for the Meltio Materials and is fully compatible with our dual wire printing technology. |
| Custom gas profile: | Configure your gas source and cost directly within Meltio Horizon. Flow rates are defined within each material. |
| Custom build plates / work spaces: | Select the right substrate right from the slicer depending on the part size. Build plates can be defined by the user and stored as presets. The machine workspace adjusts automatically, notifying the user if a selected build plate is too small. |
| Project files incorporated: | The complete project file, consisting of the model file, workspace, build plate as well as gas and material profiles can be conveniently stored and shared. |
| Hotwire Compatible: | Make Full use of Meltio Hotwire features directly from the slicer and configure different sections of the build for quality and speed. |

Designed for the shop floor
Tailor-made to Laser Wire
Made to measure for Meltio’s LMD process and Materials. Complete solution delivered with material parameters.
Future proof
Building a dedicated platform for toolpath generation specific to Meltio allows us to expand our scope of service in the future.
Easy to use
Only relevant settings are available. Meltio Specific Explainers for all settings to make getting started much easier.
Integrated
Incorporating more than just toolpath generation. It combines the print and material profiles into a single job file for more control over the printing process.
Custom gas profiles
Configure your gas source and cost directly within Meltio Horizon. Flow rates are defined within each material.
Hotwire compatible
Make full use of Meltio Hotwire features directly from the slicer and configure different sections of the build for quality and speed.
Slice geometry
Turn geometries into layers with different strategies for toolpathing and deposition of material.
Combined job file
Generates a single g-code file that combines toolpath and build parameters, making it impossible to mix up toolpaths and material files and ensuring standardization across machines.
Run Program (print)
Printing process fully controlled by the Meltio M600 user interface and process control software.
Unlinked infill
Disconnecting infill lines reduces overbuilding and waviness towards the perimeters of parts and ensures extra flat layers.
Hotwire printing processes
Using a Hotwire Process for the infill sections of parts printed with Meltio Horizon it is possible to create visually identical parts with much reduced print times.
Full Control
Independently control all deposition parameters, such as speed, laser power, hotwire current, and more on a per-feature basis.
Advanced infill strategies and object modifiers
New Infill strategy for Gyroid Lattice infill can generate parts with defined open cell porosity. Applications include cooling, heat exchangers, and lightweight applications.
Perimeters + infill joint
The joint between perimeter and infill is a critical area that is particularly prone to porosity. This porosity is typically not reflected in materials testing as samples are taken from the bulk area. Creating a dedicated joining process alleviates this issue.
Improved overhang quality
Using dedicated settings for each feature improves the overhang quality, bonding between infill and perimeter and allows for faster printing without degrading the surface quality.
