Meltio offers a unique technology which is a type of Directed Energy Deposition (DED). This process functions by precisely stacking weld beads on top of one another, in wire form, when introduced into the laser-generated melt pool.
This video shows the printing process. The video outlines how the Meltio deposition head works, taken with Xiris Automation.
Meltio and Xiris equipment can also be seen on equipment developed by robotic integrators such as DGWeld srl.
