Industrial Metal 3D Printer

Meltio M600
  • Name: Meltio M600 Industrial Metal 3D Printer
  • Manufacturer: Impac Systems
  • Model Number: Meltio 600 
  • Location: AMMPI Annex 110
The Meltio M600 is an industrial wire‑laser metal 3D printer (LMD technology) engineered for continuous 24/7 production of high‑density, complex components within a 300 X 400 X 600 mm build volume. It features blue‑laser technology for superior performance when printing reflective metals such as copper and aluminum, supports multi‑material fabrication with up to four simultaneous wire feeds, and is built for seamless integration into machine shop workflows—enabling part production, repair, and feature addition.
System Features

Core printing and process features

  • Blue-laser wire deposition technology (450 nm diode lasers) improves energy absorption and efficiency, especially for reflective metals like copper and aluminum.
  • Multiple lasers (≈1000 W total) enable precise and controlled metal deposition. Closed-loop process control with laser and wire modulation for stability and repeatability.
  • Real-time monitoring and advanced sensors to maintain consistent quality and enable continuous production.
  • Boosted wire feeding system and deposition head design to improve reliability and uptime.

Productivity and performance

  • Large build volume (~300 × 400 × 600 mm).
  • Ability to print large parts or batches of small parts in a single run.
  • Designed for 24/7 operation and reduced maintenance requirements.
  • Automated XYZ touch probing and work-holding solutions for setup efficiency.

Materials and capability

  • Compatible with a broad range of wire materials, including stainless steels, carbon and mild steels, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, & copper and aluminum alloys

Efficiency and sustainability

  • Blue-laser energy delivery reduces electricity consumption per component.
  • Wire feedstock improves material efficiency and reduces contamination risks compared with powder systems.
Safety & Protection

Operator and system safety

  • Laser-safe fully enclosed system meeting Class 1 laser safety requirements.
  • Controlled inert atmosphere chamber protects reactive materials and prevents oxidation.
  • Oxygen and humidity level control within the build chamber.

Environmental and process protection

  • Sealed atmosphere with filtration system (3-stage particulate and chemical filtration).
  • Active process monitoring and sensors to maintain deposition accuracy and detect issues.
  • Wire-based process reduces airborne metal dust and associated risks compared with powder handling.

Equipment protection and reliability

  • Closed-loop control systems regulate laser power and wire feed to maintain stable operation.
  • Improved motion system and deposition head designed for longer lifetime and reduced maintenance.
Configurability & Accessories

Material and process configurations

  • Hot-wire module to preheat wire and increase deposition rate.
  • Dual-wire system enabling quick switching between two materials.
  • Quad-wire system for sequential printing with up to four materials.

Feedstock and production options

  • Supports multiple spool types and external wire drums for long print runs.
  • Work-holding solutions and mounting options to integrate into manufacturing workflows.

Integration and operation

  • Interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi for connectivity.
  • Dedicated slicer software and simplified operator interface.
  • Automated probing, tool alignment, and setup features to reduce operator workload.
