The French Navy is the third army to validate the 3D printing technology developed by Meltio to create and repair metal parts.

Linares (Spain), July 17, 2024 – The French Navy is the third army to validate the 3D printing technology developed by Meltio to create and repair metal parts in its manufacturing and repair processes for metal parts.

The validation of Meltio's technology by the French Navy has occurred recently, during military maneuvers carried out at the end of last May while using a Meltio metal 3D printer on an experimental basis and after passing the adoption tests of its unique metal 3D printing technology over the last few months. The French Ministry of Defense has made this milestone public by assessing the effectiveness of the solution and confirming it continues to validate the Meltio solution.

The French Navy is already considering including it in upcoming real-life maneuvers and may even incorporate it on board ships in its fleet in the future.

Meltio has consolidated its unique metal additive manufacturing technology in the defense sector. The Spanish multinational based in Linares (Jaén) has been passing different technological tests on its hardware, metallic materials and software worldwide. Meltio has become a strategic and reliable partner, meeting the high demands of different armies around the world with its disruptive 3D printing technology.

In addition to these milestones, Sicnova, Meltio's distributor in Spain, signed a contract with the Spanish Ministry of Defense at the end of 2023 to introduce

additive manufacturing in the three Spanish armies for the next four years.

Currently, armies in other countries are in the process of validating Meltio's unique additive manufacturing technology. This interest from the defense sector is also opening the door to companies in the aerospace sector that are already validating the Spanish multinational's technology.
