Meltio signs strategic partnership with BFW
Metal additive manufacturing start-up Meltio has inked a deal with Bharat Fritz Werner Ltd. (BFW) to bring its laser metal deposition technology to the Indian market.
Announcing the news at Formnext where the company is showing its range of metal 3D printing solutions, including new materials, Meltio says the partnership with India's largest CNC machine tool manufacturer will play a “key role” in the development of its AM products and hybrid manufacturing solutions across the region.
Ángel Llavero López de Villalta, CEO at Meltio said: “The world is changing and this strategic partnership between Meltio’s innovative technology and BFW’s strong position in India (one of the world’s most important markets) will bring forth cutting-edge solutions for the next industrial revolution 4.0.”
Meltio’s printing process uses standard welding wire feedstock to produce industrial metal parts for a range of industries.
