Meltio introduces new toolpath generator software to optimize robot 3D printing
Summary
Now, thanks to Meltio Space, this wire-laser technology has been made available to a wider range of industrial customers who do not possess expertise in robotics and additive manufacturing. Ultimately, Meltio claims that its Space software will help to advance additive manufacturing beyond the traditional 3-axis system, accelerating the integration of the company’s 6-axis robotic manipulator and 2-axis workpiece positioners. It is hoped that the software’s comprehensive coordination, multi-axis toolpath generation, and increased design freedom will allow users to 3D print more intricate and highly detailed parts. According to nTop, this new platform enables enhanced design flexibility, decreased time to market, cost reductions, and improved end-part quality. “Our new Can I 3D Print This tool helps with initial decision-making by empowering potential users to explore and gather information about the promise of AM within their organization,” explained Dr. David Krzeminski, EOS North America senior Additive Minds consultant.
