No melting. No binders. No lasers. No sintering. No pressing. No limits.
“A revolution in additive manufacturing,” this solid-state process is the only one of its kind for making full-scale parts. MELD does something amazing: it heats up metals through a combination of high forces and friction just to the point that they flow freely and are able to be combined, or MELDed, with one another. As you can see from the video, MELD makes metal behave almost like a thick, viscous liquid. But it isn’t a liquid. In this special plastic state, the metal is still a solid. That is what makes MELD unique.
MELD is the first process to give you the power to build 3D parts in the solid state. No melting means you can make products that rival or beat parts made with traditional subtractive machining, all in one step.
Explore MELD and experience additive manufacturing without the limitations, requirements, waste, and worry that come with lasers and powder beds. The advantages of a solid-state, no-melt process include bigger and better components that are manufactured faster and with materials of your choice.
