Meltio Partners With 12 Leading Software Companies to Foster Hybrid and Robotic Additive Manufacturing Adoption

Meltio, the multinational wire-laser metal 3D printing technology manufacturer, has announced the launch of its new software partner ecosystem, designed to foster the adoption of hybrid and robotic additive manufacturing.

This partnership provides customers with a comprehensive software portfolio to industrialise Meltio’s metal additive manufacturing process. The company has developed 14 evaluation points, nine of which are related to the toolpath strategy, in order to ensure that customers have access to the most suitable software solutions for their needs.

This new software platform is comprised of 12 of the most innovative software companies in the additive manufacturing (AM) market, including SKM DCAM by SKM Informatik; AdaOne by Adaxis; AiSync by AiBuild; Esprit by Hexagon; Fusion 360 by Autodesk; Aplus+Mastercam by Camufacturing and Mastercam; Hypermill by OpenMind; SiemensNX by Siemens; Hy5CAM by 1ATechnologies; RobotStudio 3D Printing PowerPack by ABB and SprutCAM X by SprutCam.

“For a year we have been working with them, sharing the needs that we found to be most appropriate for our customers, and in some cases, even sharing the mathematical algorithms needed for the functionalities we required. The result of this collaboration between our engineers and the teams of these companies is now the offering of this software platform to the market.” said Ángel Llavero, CEO of Meltio.

“With this alliance, Meltio sends the message to all our customers of the Meltio Engine CNC and Robot Integration that the software that appears is tested and certified for the handling and proper use of Meltio’s technology. With the creation of this new agreement with major software development companies, we continue our strategic goal of facilitating and democratizing metal additive manufacturing. Ease of use and the technology are key for us. Meltio’s industrial customers are guaranteed that any software program can have a guaranteed user experience.”

Meltio has created an open platform to provide hardware and software to produce metal parts, meeting the increasing demand of industrial applications. They strive to ensure a great user experience and have developed a process to validate each solution, avoiding extra work for the customer and software provider, for example by defining post-processors or making sure the software can get the most out of the Meltio Engine, including the use of two materials in the same part (Dual-Wire).

Their engineers have identified 9 levels of complexity, which include example geometries to help customers and developers understand the range of parts. This new ecosystem offers advanced slicing features such as fixed tool orientation, revolved surfaces, features on non-planar surfaces, simple surface coating, radial cladding, 360 features, variable layer deposition, controlled area repair, and non-controlled area repair.

With the addition of this software platform, they take another step forward in their commitment to improving the ease of use of their wire laser metal 3D printing technology, providing customers with the freedom of choice and healthy competition in the new market.
