Meltio, JMT, and UnionMT enter OEM manufacturing agreement

Meltio, a wire-laser metal deposition AM technology company, has entered a partnership with Jupiter Machine Tool (JMT), a company specializing in repairing and building CNC machine tools and models across North America, and UnionMT, a globally integrated machine tool builder. The partnership is dedicated to developing and selling hybrid CNC machines using Meltio’s wire-laser metal patented Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology. JMT is now an OEM of the Meltio Engine CNC Integration.

JMT, based in Galesburg, USA, is a world-class total solutions provider for the advanced manufacturing industry. In addition to a complete line of different CNC machine and tooling solutions, and a suite of augmented reality and virtual reality industrial solutions, Jupiter provides engineering support, process improvement, quality control, service support, and production equipment to leading manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, agricultural, transportation, 3C, and mining industries.

JMT offers a large portfolio of CNC machines, including 5-axis machining, vertical and horizontal machining, turning and milling, bridge and gantry, and machining accessories. The company’s manufacturing services help different industries with repair and manufacturing processes such as engineering and automation, factory maintenance, legacy overhaul, and third-party spare parts.

This new collaboration allows the introduction of the Meltio Engine CNC Integration into a Jupiter Machine Tool portfolio to install a metal AM solution in several industries. The Meltio Engine CNC Integration can produce complex metal parts from wire feedstock. The ability to produce parts from wire makes operation and material handling very clean, as well as ensuring 100% material efficiency.

“Meltio’s main commitment with this new partnership with Jupiter Machine Tool offering to all types of industries in North America the ability to manage the entire manufacturing process using our unique metal 3D printing technology consisting of a Meltio head integrated into a CNC machine and a safe environment, to just produce and repair parts,” said Emilio Juárez, Sales Director at Meltio.

“The creation of a global partnership of Jupiter Machine Tool, Meltio, and UnionMT, located on three continents is extraordinary and exciting. Our tri-cultural synergy blended with diverse global technology results in the design and manufacture of 3 and 5-axis Additive-Subtractive CNC machine systems,” said Ray Whitehead, CEO of Jupiter Machine Tool.
