Meld Manufacturing’s L3 model.
Meld Manufacturing’s L3 model combines the modern aesthetics and features of the larger Meld K2 model at a reduced size and price for manufacturers that are looking to enhance or expand their metal printing portfolio. The L3 machine has a build volume of 14.2 ft3 (.4 m3) with a table size for fixturing parts that measures 51" × 23" (129.5 cm × 58.4 cm).
The company says the L3 offers a generous workspace and build volume for manufacturing with increased access for fixturing. The machine also enables increased production capabilities without requiring a larger footprint on the manufacturing floor. The L3 offers flexibility of use for operators with a moveable operator panel. It also features an open-air operation, while only requiring standard manufacturing protective equipment. The machine can be used for both part fabrication and repair.
