/ Meltio · Wire-Laser Metal Deposition Robot Cell

Meltio Robot Cell.
Turn-key 8-axis robotic AM cell.

A certified, fully enclosed robotic 3D printing cell — production-ready out of the box. Includes 6-axis robot arm, deposition head, 2-axis positioner (Ø 1000 × 1200 mm, max 500 kg), controls and chiller on one integrated platform. CE-certified, IEC 60825-1/4 laser-safe Class 1. Ideal for manufacturers who want Engine Robot flexibility without having to design and certify a safe cell themselves.

8-axis deposition (6-axis robot + 2-axis positioner). Full geometric freedom within the cell envelope · Ø 1000 × 1200 mm on the positioner.
500 kg max load on the positioner. Heavy parts, multi-part fixtures and repair workpieces fit directly.
CE · Class 1 · IEC 60825 certified. No separate cell certification by your safety department needed — directly admissible in a production hall.
No integration work required. One delivery project, one installation cycle, one commissioning trajectory.

[ 02 · Why this configuration ]

Four properties that drive the choice

/ 01

One supplier, one project

No multi-vendor integration of robot, deposition head, positioner and controls. 3DPS delivers the entire platform as one project, with one commissioning trajectory.

/ 02

Directly deployable in production

CE-certified Class 1 laser-safe. No separate safety-cell design by your safety department, no local risk assessment. The cell is plant-floor ready.

/ 03

Heavy workpieces

The 2-axis positioner carries 500 kg and is large enough for shipbuilding flanges, large bearings or multi-part fixtures. 8-axis deposition freedom on heavy parts.

/ 04

Scalable to 24/7

Configured for unattended production cycles — sensor suite, fault recovery, long-run feedstock management. For manufacturers industrializing metal AM.

[ 03 · Applications ]

Where this configuration pays off

Three typical scenarios where the Robot Cell is the right choice for your production.

Application 01

Turn-key production installation

Manufacturers who want to industrialize metal AM but do not want to design, certify and integrate a robotic cell themselves. Power-on switch, production within weeks of delivery.

Manufacturing · Aerospace · Defense
Application 02

Large and heavy repair workpieces

Repair and cladding of shipbuilding flanges, propeller shaft segments, large bearings, hydraulic cylinders. The positioner carries the workpiece, the robot brings the Blue Laser anywhere.

Marine · Heavy industry · MRO
Application 03

Production of complex geometry

Parts where 8-axis deposition freedom delivers advantage over the 3-axis M600 — overhangs without support, complex wall geometry, multi-part runs on one positioner.

Aerospace · Energy · Tooling
[ Printed with Meltio ]

Rotating parts, built across multiple axes.

The Robot Cell combines a 6-axis robot with a 2-axis positioner. It prints rotationally symmetric and overhanging parts, including multi-material parts in titanium and copper.

What 3DPS does for Robot Cell customers

/ Before

Site survey & planning

Before purchase we evaluate your machine hall: footprint, floor loading, power supply, gas supply. Including installation drawing for your facility team.

/ Purchase

Delivery & commissioning

Full delivery project including installation and first-print validation by Meltio-certified engineers. Cell is set up on location and validated.

/ Roll-out

Operator training

5-day training where your operators learn to work with the 8-axis cell — Meltio Space toolpath generation, positioner strategies, multi-axis printing.

/ Operational

Maintenance + spares

Preventive maintenance of robot, head and positioner. Spare-part inventory in Bergeijk, response within 4 hours via remote support, on-site within 48 hours.
