In real manufacturing environments, parts are rarely defined by a single process. Machining, heat treatment, finishing, and inspection are already deeply

How does Meltio define "Hybrid Manufacturing" within an industrial workflow? We define hybrid manufacturing as the concurrent use of additive and subtractive processes within a single coordinate system. It is not merely placing a 3D printer next to a CNC mill; it is a unified workflow where the Meltio Engine deposits material (Wire-Laser DED) to near-net shape, and the CNC immediately machines it to final tolerance. This approach allows engineers to use additive manufacturing only where it adds geometric value and machining only where precision is critical, effectively eliminating the…
