Revolutionizing Metal 3D Printing: Wire-Based Laser Deposition
2025-02-02
Spanish company Meltio has developed a revolutionary metal 3D printing technology that eliminates the hassles of powder-based methods. Using metal wire as feedstock, multiple low-power diode lasers melt the wire, building parts layer by layer. Called LMD (Wire-Laser Metal Deposition), this efficient and clean process requires no powder cleanup, handles various metals and alloys, allows for mixing metals, and enables repair of existing parts. Furthermore, Meltio's technology can be easily integrated into existing robotic arms or CNC machines, significantly lowering costs and barriers to entry.
