Meltio, a disruptive wire-laser steel deposition additive manufacturing know-how chief, has agreed a know-how collaboration with One Off Robotics, a specialist in robotic additive manufacturing.

The most recent collaboration introduces the One Off Robotics Cell, a “turnkey steel additive manufacturing workcell” designed for a sooner, extra environment friendly, and dependable half manufacturing cycle.

The One Off Robotics Cell is a robotic steel additive system powered by Meltio’s Wire Laser Metallic Deposition (W-LMD) know-how. The system produces cost-effective, finely printed steel elements for functions in industries together with automotive, aerospace, mining, oil and gasoline, and lots of others.

With a formidable deposition charge of as much as 1 kg an hour, this technique excels at creating clear elements which are absolutely dense and mechanically equal or superior to these created from conventional means. The system seamlessly integrates management of the system, permitting the person to simply alter settings and print shortly.

Its 8-axis system simplifies complicated geometry printing and is configured to work with the Meltio House robotic slicer, in addition to different robotic additive software program.

The brand new One Off Robotics Cell powered by Meltio, made within the USA makes use of customary welding wire and produces elements which are constant, spatter-free, and clear. The robotic and positioner are put in on a self-supporting platform inside a customized, laser-safe enclosure, which ensures protected operation and fast set up.

The system bundle contains the robotic, W-LMD system, two-axis positioner, Meltio machine imaginative and prescient laser alignment instrument, welding digital camera, and security enclosure. Bundle add-ons can be found for the thermal SWIR digital camera, multi-material twin wire printing, and scorching wire printing for elevated pace.

Meltio and One Off Robotics may even present system coaching and tutorial supplies upon supply to make sure unparalleled technical assist for finish customers in any trade.

Alejandro Nieto, Meltio engine product supervisor, says: “Meltio’s fundamental dedication with this new product providing with the One Off Robotics Cell powered by Meltio, Made within the USA is to supply all sorts of industries the power to handle your complete manufacturing course of utilizing our steel 3D printing know-how consisting of a Meltio head built-in right into a robotic arm and a protected setting, to only produce elements.

“This new {hardware} system permits the shopper to obtain a ready-to-use cell for robotic steel 3D printing, eradicating the combination course of and lengthy meeting lead instances.”

Nick Johnson, CEO of One Off Robotics, says: “One Off Robotics has spent years designing and constructing large-format robotic additive manufacturing work cells.

“We’re thrilled to broaden our choices to incorporate a turnkey Meltio Robotic additive system. Our focus is buyer success, so we designed this technique from the bottom as much as be shortly put in and simply operated.”

The One Off Robotics Cell is an evolution of Meltio’s customary Engine Robotic Integration and can also be licensed to function with Kuka and ABB robotic arms. The brand new system serves as a complicated, but user-friendly system designed to empower industries internationally to include Meltio’s steel additive manufacturing know-how.
