Meltio M600 - FAQ

What is the build volume of the Meltio M600?

300 x 400 x 600 mm, and the entire chamber is inert rather than only the melt-pool area. A fully inert chamber matters for reactive materials like titanium, where local shielding gas is not sufficient to prevent contamination through the build.

What makes the M600's blue laser different?

The M600 uses a 450 nm blue laser. Shorter wavelength means dramatically higher energy absorption in reflective metals — copper and aluminum in particular, which infrared lasers struggle with because the material reflects most of the energy back. If copper or aluminum is in your roadmap, this is the specification that matters most.

How much does a Meltio M600 cost?

Pricing depends on configuration — wire feed setup, hotwire option, and installation and training requirements all affect it. Rather than publish a number that will not match your configuration, we quote against what you actually need. Call us or request a quote and we will give you a real figure, typically the same week.

Do I need special facility preparation to install one?

You need appropriate power, shielding gas supply, and a room that satisfies laser safety requirements — though the M600 ships in a laser-safe enclosure with EPA filtration, which handles most of that. We conduct a site review before installation so there are no surprises on delivery day, and we handle commissioning and operator training as part of the install.

What is the difference between the Meltio M450 and the M600?

The M600 has a larger build volume, a fully inert chamber, blue laser technology for reflective metals, multi-wire capability, built-in three-axis probing, and zero-point clamping. The M450 is a capable and more economical machine for smaller parts in conventional alloys. If your parts fit the M450 envelope and you are not printing copper or aluminum, the M450 may be the better value — we will tell you if that is the case.
