Additive Manufacturing of Metal Components
Industrial metal additive manufacturing opens new opportunities in the production, enhancement, and repair of metallic components. Explore modern manufacturing processes, compatible alloys, and industrial applications.
Manufacturing Excellence & Highest Precision
Wire-Laser Metal Deposition
(W-LMD)
In wire-based laser deposition, metallic wire feedstock is melted by a laser and deposited selectively onto a substrate. This enables building components layer by layer, enhancing existing structures, or restoring worn areas.
Meltio M600 W-LMD
High-precision additive manufacturing in a closed build envelope for complex parts and near-net-shape geometries.
- Build volume: 300 × 400 × 600 mm
- Blue laser technology for high absorption
- 100% dense metal parts
Meltio Robot Integration
Maximum flexibility through a robot-guided laser head. Ideal for large-format parts, repairs, and cladding.
- Practically unlimited build volume
- 6-axis freedom of movement
- Repair of existing mold tools
Possible Applications
Wire-based metal additive manufacturing enables versatile industrial applications – from near-net-shape manufacturing to cost-effective component refurbishment.
Additive Manufacturing of Metal Components
Layer-by-layer production of solid metal functional components with 100% metallurgical density and high material efficiency directly from CAD models.
Repair and Reconditioning
Selective laser material deposition onto worn mold tools, turbine components, or shafts as a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement.
Material Deposition & Cladding
Targeted protection against wear, corrosion, or thermal loads by cladding high-performance alloys onto cost-effective base substrates.
Near-Net-Shape Manufacturing
Near-net-shape deposition to drastically reduce machining volume, tooling wear, and raw material procurement lead times.
Hybrid Manufacturing
Combining additive buildup with subtractive CNC precision machining for components demanding tight dimensional tolerances and surface finishes.
Functional Material Enhancement
Selective addition of flanges, ribs, mounting brackets, or custom features onto existing forgings, castings, or standard profiles.
Material Diversity &
Post-Processing
Through the wire-based DED process (W-LMD) we process standard welding wires. This means for you: lower material costs, safe handling, and a wide selection of certified industrial metals.

- Tool steels (e.g., H11)
- Titanium alloys (Ti6Al4V)
- Nickel-based alloys (Inconel)
- Copper & Copper alloys
Post-Processing
- CNC Milling & Turning
- Heat Treatment
- Surface Grinding
- Quality Assurance (3D Scan)
From Technical Inquiry to Finished Metal Component
A clear, structured engineering workflow from initial feasibility review to precision post-processing and delivery.
Submit Project Request
Transmit your CAD data, drawings, and technical specifications securely via our request form. Your data is treated strictly confidentially.
Feasibility Check & Quote
Our W-LMD experts check your part for feasibility, choose the optimal printing strategy, and provide a binding quote including delivery date.
Production & Quality Assurance
Upon approval, we start the 3D printing process. The part is then post-processed in-house (CNC, heat treatment) and strictly quality-checked.
Delivery
You receive your finished, ready-to-use precision part – on time and in the highest manufacturing quality.
