About 3D Solution
3D Solution GmbH, headquartered in Finnentrop (North Rhine-Westphalia), specializes in robotics automation and additive metal 3D printing. The company offers consulting and concept development, planning and implementation, commissioning and training as well as maintenance and support for automation solutions. In the field of 3D printing, 3D Solution GmbH distributes and integrates wire-laser metal deposition systems (LMD/Directed Energy Deposition) from Meltio – including turn-key 3D printers M450 and M600, robot integration kits and turn-key robot cells as well as CNC integration. With FASTSUITE® Edition 2, the company offers offline programming and simulation of industrial robots and machines in a virtual 3D environment. Application areas include near-net-shape printing as a substitute for casting/forging, conformal cooling channels, repairs and cladding as well as hybrid manufacturing systems for industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, rail, mining, tooling and mold making.

Materials & Processes
Wire-Laser Metal Deposition (Laser Metal Deposition)
DED process in which weld beads are precisely stacked in the laser-generated melt pool; wire as a safe and clean feedstock.
Meltio M450 Turn-key Metal 3D Printer
Compact turn-key printer with 6 x 200 W diode lasers (976 nm, 1200 W) and a build volume of 145 x 168 x 390 mm for small to medium-sized parts and multi-metal printing.
Meltio M600 Turn-key Metal 3D Printer
Production-ready printer with 1000 W blue lasers (9 x 450 nm), inert build volume of 300 x 400 x 600 mm and compatibility with aluminium and copper alloys.
Meltio Engine Robot Integration (Blue)
Robot-carried DED unit (1000 W, 450 nm) for large-format printing, repair, cladding and feature deposition without size limitation, compatible with ABB, Kuka, Fanuc, Yaskawa and Siemens.
Meltio Engine CNC Integration
Conversion of existing CNC platforms into hybrid manufacturing systems (additive/subtractive) without inherent size limitations.
FASTSUITE® Edition 2 Offline Programming
Digital factory software for simulation and offline programming of robots and machines with a digital twin.
Dual/Quadruple Wire Printing
Dual wire for hardfacing and corrosion protection applications as well as the creation of new alloys within the same print.
Hot-Wire Option
Preheated wire increases the deposition rate and expands the range of processable materials.
