ACNS has become the first integrator of the Meltio Engine Blue in France, marking a leap forward in expanding robotic and CNC-based metal 3D printing. With the help of Multistation, Meltio’s official sales partner in France, ACNS will help bring hybrid manufacturing and robotic metal additive manufacturing to industrial customers in the region.
Since 1993, ACNS specializes in automation, robotics, numerical control, and industrial data connection. With 900 + completed projects on their portfolio, the company is globally recognized as a pace-setter in industrial machinery and automation. ACNS boasts a team of 20 tech experts, committed to designing next-gen solutions for industrial manufacturing.
By integrating the Meltio Engine Blue into Vertical Machining Centers and industrial robotic arms using the Meltio Engine Integration Kit, ACNS will be instrumental in making advanced metal 3D printing more accessible. Meltio’s wire-laser metal additive manufacturing (WLAM) technology stacks weld beads in a laser-generated melt pool, using standard welding wire – the cleanest, safest, and most cost-effective metal feedstock available. With this breakthrough, industries can repair parts, enhance existing components, and produce one-off parts quickly and efficiently.
“We are glad to start this partnership with Meltio and integrate the revolutionary Meltio Engine Blue,” said Emmanuel Mignot, CEO at ACNS. “This system is a breakthrough, allowing non-experts to master printing a wide range of metals quickly. We believe it has a strong business case for repairs, functional enhancements, and custom manufacturing.”
Francisco González, Head of EMEA at Meltio, also highlighted the impact of this collaboration: “Together with ACNS and Multistation, we are driving the adoption of Meltio’s unique metal 3D printing technology across industries.”
Looks like France is set to embrace the innovative vision of hybrid manufacturing and robotic metal additive manufacturing with this partnership, bringing a range of opportunities to the country’s industrial production.
