Meld Manufacturing’s L3 has Increased Access for Fixturing
Compact machine enhances production capabilities and offers increased access for fixturing.
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.
