Meltio Partners with Jupiter Machine Tool

Meltio, a wire-laser metal deposition additive manufacturing technology (directed energy deposition, DED) company, has announced a new partnership with USAF veteran-owned Jupiter Machine Tool (JMT), a company specializing in repairing and building CNC machine tools and models across North America. Meltio, JMT, and UMT entered into an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) manufacturing agreement that created a global partnership dedicated to developing and selling hybrid CNC machines using Meltio’s wire-laser metal DED technology.

The combined engineering, field service, marketing, and sales efforts of this global team have created a tri-lateral partnership.

This new collaboration with Meltio allows the introduction of the Meltio Engine CNC Integration into a Jupiter Machine Tool portfolio to install a metal additive manufacturing solution in several industries. The Meltio Engine CNC Integration can produce complex metal parts from wire feedstock. 

“Meltio's main commitment with this new partnership with Jupiter Machine Tool offering to all types of industries in North America is the ability to manage the entire manufacturing process using our unique metal 3D printing technology, consisting of a Meltio head integrated into a CNC machine and a safe environment, to just produce and repair parts,” says Meltio Sales Director Emilio Juárez.

“The creation of a global partnership of Jupiter Machine Tool, Meltio, and UnionMT, located on three continents is extraordinary and exciting,” says Ray Whitehead, CEO of Jupiter Machine Tool. “Our tri-cultural synergy blended with diverse global technology results in the design and manufacture of 3 and 5-axis Additive-Subtractive CNC machine systems.”
