So ware makes it easy to integrate robots into additive processes

Meltio is making it easier for customers to integrate its Meltio Engine CNC with its Engine Robot Integration systems. Meltio is a multinational wire-laser metal 3D printing manufacturer. Its engineering team developed 14 evaluation points, 9 focused on toolpath strategy, to ensure a comprehensive software ecosystem to meet a variety of customer needs.

The Meltio Engine Software Partners ecosystem includes key software players in the additive manufacturing market, and enables it to complement the Meltio Horizon to deliver end-to-end additive manufacturing software.

The key players that have joined Meltio Engine’s Software Partner ecosystem for hybrid and robotic platforms include SKM DCAM by SKM Informatik; AdaOne by Adaxis; AiSync by AiBuild; Esprit by Hexagon; Fusion 360 by Autodesk; Aplus+Mastercam by Camufacturing and Mastercam; Hypermill by OpenMind; SiemensNX by Siemens; Hy5CAM by 1ATechnologies; RobotStudio 3D Printing PowerPack by ABB; and SprutCAM X by SprutCam.

Meltio provides an open platform for hardware (any robot or CNC) and for software that allows the use of any software to manufacture metal parts and meet the growing demand of industrial applications in the market with hybrid and robotic additive manufacturing processes.

Meltio has created a process for validating technically each solution, avoiding extra work between the final customer and every software provider, for example as defining post-processors or ensuring the specific software can get the most out of the Meltio Engine as the possibility to use two materials in the same part (Dual-Wire). Meltio’s engineers have studied the technical requirements for developing the slicing strategies for the majority of the parts that the industry requires. They have defined 9 levels of complexity, including example geometries that represent help customers as well as developers understand the diversity of parts.

This software ecosystem o ers to the market tools to address several parts and industries through advanced slicing features such as: fixed tool orientation, revolved surfaces, features on non-planar surfaces, simple surface coating, radial cladding, 360 features, variable layer deposition, controlled area repair, and non-controlled area repair.
