01
Near-Net-Shape Manufacturing
Wire-Laser DED builds parts close to final geometry (near-net-shape). Subsequent CNC machining achieves defined surfaces and tolerances — significantly less material input than machining from solid stock.

Technology
Technology Overview
The system is based on a welding-based deposition process. Metal wire is melted by laser energy and built up layer by layer into a component.
02
Repair & Life Extension
Worn or damaged metal components can be restored through targeted laser metal deposition (LMD). The same system produces new parts and repairs existing ones — on demand.
03
CNC & Robot Integration
The Meltio print head integrates directly into existing CNC machines or robot cells. No separate dedicated machine required — existing infrastructure remains usable.
