Background Information

The Meltio M450 is a compact, industrial-grade metal 3D printer designed for safe, reliable, and affordable additive manufacturing using wire-based Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology. The 3D printer made its debut at Formnext 2019 and is ideal for small to medium-size part fabrication and multi-metal 3D printing research.
