Meltio Secures €250,000 for New Additive Manufacturing Tool Development
Spanish additive manufacturing company Meltio has received approximately €250,000 in funding to develop a novel additive manufacturing tool at its facility in Linares.
The funding, sourced from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the CDTI (Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology), will support Meltio's research and development efforts.
The project aims to create a new additive manufacturing tool, the specifics of which have not been fully disclosed, but it is expected to advance the company's existing metal printing capabilities. Meltio is known for its multi-material metal 3D printing technology, which utilizes wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and a patented process.
This investment underscores the Spanish government's commitment to fostering innovation in advanced manufacturing sectors. The CDTI plays a crucial role in promoting research, technological development, and innovation in Spanish companies.
Meltio, headquartered in Linares, has been a significant player in the metal additive manufacturing landscape, offering solutions that enable the production of large-format metal parts. The development of this new tool is anticipated to further enhance their product portfolio and technological offerings.
This funding allows Meltio to expand its proprietary metal additive manufacturing technology. The development of new tools and processes is crucial for scaling metal AM, enabling larger, more complex parts for industries like aerospace and automotive, and potentially supporting in-situ manufacturing in challenging environments like space.
