Sixpenny Additive, a newly launched Canadian metal additive manufacturing company, has been named the first distributor and integration partner for Meltio’s innovative robotic metal 3D printing solutions in Canada.
Meltio’s industrial patented wire-laser directed energy deposition (DED) technology enables manufacturers to produce fully dense metal parts using cost-effective welding wire, with the flexibility to integrate onto robotic arms or operate as standalone 3D printers. This technology provides a unique combination of reliability, affordability, and industrial scalability.
Sixpenny Additive brings Robotic Metal 3D Printing to Canada
Through this partnership, Sixpenny Additive will deliver Canadian manufacturers:
- System Sales & Integration – Local expertise to configure Meltio Engine systems with industrial robots.
- Service & Support – Canadian-based technical assistance, training, and maintenance.
- Application Development – Consultation on design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) and new product opportunities.
- Printing Services – Direct access to Meltio’s robotic metal 3D printing technology through Sixpenny Additive’s service bureau, allowing customers to prototype and produce parts without an upfront machine investment.
“We are thrilled to bring Meltio’s robotic metal 3D printing technology to Canada. Wire-laser DED opens doors for Canadian manufacturers seeking to reduce costs, shorten lead times, and produce parts previously impossible or uneconomical with conventional methods. Our role is to make adoption seamless by providing both the machines and the expertise to use them effectively.”
– David Nolan, President of Sixpenny Additive
As Meltio Channel Manager in the United States, Gabriel Ortiz, expresses enthusiasm for this partnership: “Meltio’s main commitment with this new partnership with Sixpenny Additive offering to all types of industries in Canada the ability to manage the entire manufacturing process using our unique industrial wire-laser metal 3D printing solutions consisting of a Meltio head integrated in a robotic arm -Meltio Engine Robot Integration-, and the Meltio Robot Cell. It is very interesting to help a large range of industries, from automotive to aerospace as they want to print and repair reliable metal parts with our DED wire-laser reliable solutions.”
