MELD Overview
Our Technology

This legacy part was printed quickly with the MELD technology for the US Navy. Its shape and features make extrusion and machining from billet challenging. This geometry is a good example of the value of the MELD process.
MELD Manufacturing holds more than a dozen patents for the MELD technology, a truly novel and innovative process for metal manufacturing. Traditional processes melt metal, introducing weakness and other issues. MELD makes the material malleable without melting, offering stronger, better quality parts.
MELD is uniquely open atmosphere, meaning no special chambers or vacuums are needed. This flexibility not only means less equipment and cost, but also that MELD is scalable and can make parts bigger, better, and faster than other processes.
The MELD process is unlike any other and opens up the possibilities of working with materials that were once off the table and can even allow customers to work with unweldable metals.
The combination of material freedom and scalability make MELD a revolution for a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, turbomachinery, and many others. Learn more…
Machines & Services
MELD Machines represent more than a decade of research and development. They are streamlined, painstakingly designed, and crafted with user experience in mind. Even more impressively, MELD Machines outperform other technologies in both deposition rates and quality of components produced.
A wide range of materials can be used in MELD machines and materials are not limited to powders, unlike many similar processes. We want our customers to enjoy the freedoms that MELD provides and won’t require you to purchase your materials from us.
Beyond machine sales, the MELD team is eager to help you explore what our technology can do for your application. We offer contract manufacturing and support for proof of concept projects across industries. Learn more…
