The US Army relies on metal 3D printing from a Spanish company

This is the first time that a Spanish company has received this award in the field of additive manufacturing, which makes it possible to print and repair parts using 3D printing, solving potential logistical problems and providing manufacturing autonomy and improving the supply chains of parts in the defence sector.

The US Department of Defense has awarded the unique and patented metal 3D printing technology of the Spanish company Meltio, which means the recognition as a “strategic technology partner” in the current and future development plans of that country in the military and security field.

This award consolidates Meltio’s relationship with the U.S. Army and increases its possibilities of having a relationship with other departments of the country in the field of defence and also with the armies of other countries.
