M450 Using spools of a wide range of metal feedstocks, including stainless steels, Inconel, titanium and copper, manufacturers can employ Meltio’s wire-laser 3D printer to produce molds, as well as cladding. The machine is suitable for both prototyping and full-scale production.
What’s new? A growing metal selection. Materials now include Meltio Tool Steel H11, which offers excellent impact toughness and has been used in hot tooling and die manufacturing, and Meltio Invar, which is a solid choice for manufacturing molds for producing composite components.
Benefits Flexibility, thanks to an open-platform system. The company said it offers the lowest-cost machine on the market, which uses the lowest-cost materials — customers can acquire metal wires directly from Meltio, or any other commercial source.
