Spain-based
Meltio, a leading innovator in industrial laser metal deposition technology, has announced that Godiz, a prominent industrial machining services provider based in the Spanish town of Constanti, has become the first official ‘Service Bureau’ for Meltio’s wire-laser metal 3-D printing solutions in Spain and Portugal.
This development was achieved in collaboration with Sicnova, Meltio’s official sales partner in the Iberian Peninsula, and means that any type of industry in Spain and Portugal can request Godiz to 3-D print metal parts using Meltio’s wire-laser metal 3-D printing technology, which precisely layers weld beads using ‘commodity welding wire’, introduced into a laser-generated meltpool.
Francisco Gómez, Godiz’s CEO, said: “With the acquisition of Meltio’s technology, we are closer to achieving our goal of being able to manufacture any type of part that would be practically impossible through conventional methods. This, along with our already established machining service, allows us to manufacture almost any type of part across a wide range of materials.
“Our goal is also to carry out repairs on high-value materials using the cladding technique, repairs that until now were outside our service portfolio. In short, this collaboration with Meltio will enable us to grow technologically and offer a wider range of services to our existing and potential clients, reaching areas we previously could not.”
Francisco González, Meltio’s EMEA sales manager, added: “We are thrilled to be working with Godiz and Sicnova, as the collaboration between sales and integration partners within the Meltio ecosystem is critical to fast-track technology adoption in a territory. With Godiz’s expertise we are now able to bring an end-to-end solution to customers that require hybrid manufacturing metal 3-D printed parts in Spain and Portugal.”
