Recently, metal 3D printing manufacturer Meltio launched its latest metal 3D printer - M600. This M600 has shown significant progress in integrating into industrial manufacturing processes, no longer limited to niche applications.

 



Like most of Meltio's product lines, the design of M600 was originally intended to address common manufacturing issues such as long delivery times, high inventory costs, and fragile supply chains. For this purpose, the Meltio M600 aims to improve productivity, reduce costs, and achieve internal component production, thereby making the manufacturing process more robust.

Lukas Hoppe, the R&D director of Meltio, stated at a press conference that the design task of the new Meltio M600 is to envision a perfect 3D printer suitable for machining workshops.

3D printing has enormous potential to reduce delivery time and manufacturing dependence through internal printing of parts, reduce warehouse inventory, as raw materials can be converted into final parts on demand, and reduce costs by only using materials where needed

Blue light environmental protection new trend, more cost-effective
Unlike traditional 3D printing technology, Meltio's M600 uses wire laser metal deposition. This process is similar to laser welding, allowing machines to easily print simple or complex metal structures.

Hope pointed out, "Our goal is to strike a balance between machine size, cost, and productivity for the Meltio M600, while not compromising quality, reliability, and ease of use."

The M600 uses wire as the material, which is safer, more cost-effective, and reduces the risk of pollution. The wire is bombarded by high-power laser in the print head, achieving precise and controllable metal deposition.

However, the difference between M600 and Meltio's other metal 3D printers is that it uses cutting-edge blue light laser technology. This innovation not only improves printing speed but also reduces required energy, making it particularly suitable for materials that challenge infrared lasers, such as copper and aluminum alloys.

The use of blue light laser technology and wire not only improves operational efficiency, but also reduces the carbon footprint of the production process, meeting the growing demand for sustainable manufacturing.

Leading the Revolution of Metal 3D Printing
The design features of M600 include a spacious (300x400x600mm) fully inert workspace that can handle various materials such as titanium, copper, aluminum alloys, stainless steel, tool steel, nickel, invar alloys, and Inconel.

This 3D printer also features a built-in workpiece fixing solution and a three-axis touch probe, adding versatility.

The design of M600 prioritizes autonomous operation, reducing operator intervention and meeting the demand for reliable and continuous production in industrial manufacturing.

Meltio's M600 is an important step in making metal additive manufacturing a viable and competitive option for various industrial applications.
It improves material processing, production efficiency, and operational integration, opening up opportunities for the wider adoption of 3D printing technology in industries such as automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, mining, and defense.
