AEC has been appointed as an official sales and integration partner of Meltio in the United States, playing a key role in the distribution, system integration, and support of Meltio’s metal additive manufacturing solutions across the U.S. market.
As both a sales partner and systems integrator, AEC will focus on building a strong industrial ecosystem for Meltio’s technology in the U.S., driving business opportunities in collaboration with technology centers, machine tool builders, robotic integrators, academic institutions, and industrial customers. This approach ensures that Meltio’s solutions are effectively integrated into automated and production-ready manufacturing environments.
“By combining AEC’s deep experience in advanced robotic welding and turnkey automation systems with Meltio’s blue-laser, wire-fed metal 3D printing technology, we can deliver practical, production-ready additive solutions. This welding-wire-based process gives manufacturers a safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective path to high-deposition, near-net-shape production, repair, and hybrid manufacturing. It’s a strong fit with our mission to engineer real-world solutions that improve performance, flexibility, and ROI for our customers,” said Bobby Larmer, CEO of AEC.
“Manufacturers today, particularly in challenging industrial sectors like oil & gas, require additive solutions that are reliable, scalable, and ready for production,” said Gabriel Ortiz, America’s Channel Manager at Meltio. “Meltio’s wire-laser metal 3D printing system delivers efficiency, flexibility, and operational performance in real-world industrial environments. Partnering with AEC ensures we can extend these benefits to more U.S. manufacturers, helping them optimize processes, reduce costs, and implement production-ready additive manufacturing solutions across diverse sectors.”
