Meltio to show wire-based metal parts for exhausts, steel wheels and spares at Formnext

Meltio will present several application examples of its wire-based metal printing process at Formnext 2026, stand 12.0 C119. The parts come from the automotive sector and industrial maintenance, and live printing demonstrations are planned. The process is directed energy deposition, in which a laser melts metal wire and builds the part layer by layer.

Context Directed energy deposition (DED) melts feedstock, here metal wire, with laser energy as it is deposited, building up a part layer by layer.
