Meltio, a leader in wire-laser metal additive manufacturing technology, has reinforced its commitment to the United States defense sector through an expanding network of certified industrial partners equipped to support secure, distributed, and mission-ready manufacturing operations. The company’s growing ecosystem includes organizations operating under recognized regulatory and quality frameworks such as International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) registration, Type 7 Federal Firearms License (FFL), System for Award Management (SAM) registration, and ISO 9001:2015 certification. Meltio itself maintains ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, reflecting its focus on quality, reliability, and environmental stewardship across its manufacturing operations.
As defense organizations seek greater production agility and reduced dependence on complex global supply chains, advanced manufacturing technologies are playing an increasingly important role in supporting readiness. Meltio’s wire-laser Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology enables the production, repair, and refurbishment of metal components at the point of need, helping organizations respond more effectively to operational demands.
“Meltio technology is helping organizations establish more resilient manufacturing capabilities that can be deployed where and when they are needed,” said Jon Grubb, Defense Industry Strategy Manager at Meltio. “By working alongside qualified partners across the United States, we are supporting a manufacturing model that improves responsiveness, strengthens supply chain security, and enhances operational flexibility.”
The company’s US partner network includes Force Automation, Snowbird Technologies, Phillips Corporation, and Fastech LLC, each bringing specialized capabilities that support defense and industrial manufacturing programs. These organizations provide expertise ranging from deployable manufacturing systems and hybrid production environments to secure technology integration and workforce training.
Meltio’s technology is designed to integrate with CNC machines, industrial robotic systems, and mobile manufacturing units. Using industrial wire feedstock rather than metal powders, the process offers a cleaner and more accessible production method while maintaining the ability to manufacture complex components from materials such as stainless steel, titanium, copper, Inconel, and nickel-based alloys.
Applications span naval maintenance, armored vehicle support, legacy component replacement, rapid prototyping, and expeditionary manufacturing in remote environments. The technology allows critical parts to be produced or repaired in hours or days rather than weeks or months, significantly reducing downtime and improving equipment availability.
Meltio’s manufacturing solutions have already demonstrated success in US Navy and allied defense programs, where hybrid production systems have accelerated delivery timelines for key components and strengthened mission support capabilities. As defense organizations continue to modernize manufacturing strategies, Meltio and its partner network remain focused on delivering flexible production solutions that support readiness, sovereignty, and long-term operational resilience.
