FIT AG Appointed as Meltio’s Service Bureau and a DACH region Referent for Application Development
Meltio, has announced that FIT AG became the first official service bureau and a key contributor to its application development in Germany and the DACH region.
FIT AG is a German industrial Additive Manufacturing integrator aiming to provide accessible and affordable metal 3D printing services to a variety of industries. Their business model enables the widespread use of various additive manufacturing technologies. After verifying the various advantages of Meltio’s state-of-the-art wire laser metal deposition (LMD), FIT AG decided to incorporate this innovative technology into its portfolio.
By adding the Meltio Engine integrated into a robotic arm, FIT AG will play a key role in making this technology accessible across the DACH region. They will also assist in the improvement and advancement of said technology. Furthermore, FIT AG will support the demand for Meltio parts for a wide range of applications for industrial sectors.
Meltio’s cutting-edge multi-metal 3D printing technology precisely stacks weld beads on top of one another when introduced into a laser-generated meltpool. The process uses commodity welding wire, the cleanest, safest and lowest-cost metal feedstock on the market. The Meltio Engine integrates impeccablywith both robotic as well as CNC equipment, bringing new metal additive manufacturing capabilities to a wide range of industries and applications.
“We are thrilled to be working with FIT AG and KnowHow Wilhelms, as this collaboration between us serves as a great indicator of how Meltio’s partner ecosystem is evolving. Together we will be able to cater to the ever-growing interest in Meltio’s technology and its applications. As well as by leveraging FIT’s knowledge, we will be able to further develop the adoption of Meltio unique wire-laser metal additive manufacturing for different industries. – Moisés Moza Sanchez, Sales manager in DACH region at Meltio.
For FIT, Meltio’s Laser DED technology is the neatly matching missing link between Selective Laser Melting and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). It jumps in to fill the performance gap whenever metal parts from WAAM are too chunky and laser melting parts too costly. An important advantage is that the FIT experts can profit from their special know-how in multiaxial tool path programming from WAAM which they have pushed forward over the last years. A prior evaluation of a test system provided by Knowhow Wilhelm was highly positive.
Carl Fruth, founder and CEO of FIT AG, announces, „The Laser DED wire technology by Meltio is what appears to be an ideal enhancement of our inventory of AM technologies. We see fantastic opportunities here to develop ground-breaking new applications all along wit our customers.“
