Phillips USA is the first Meltio partner to integrate the Meltio Engine Blue with a Haas CNC machine.
Phillips Corporation and Meltio have announced the integration of the Meltio Engine Blue into a Haas CNC machine, marking the first instance of this combination by a Meltio partner. The integration brings together additive and subtractive manufacturing processes in a single system, with potential applications in the defense sector.
Meltio’s laser-wire metal 3D printing system uses welding wire as its primary metal feedstock. The Meltio Engine Blue integrates with CNC machines to enable metal additive manufacturing, offering a flexible approach for producing essential parts in defense and industrial applications.
Phillips Corporation, a provider of manufacturing technology and a partner to defense and government agencies, is expanding its ongoing collaboration with Meltio through this integration. The company supplies solutions aimed at supporting operations across industry, defense, and academic sectors.
The first Meltio Engine Blue was integrated into a Haas TM-1r CNC platform and demonstrated at RAPID TCT in Detroit, MI, in April 2025. This hybrid setup allows defense manufacturers to produce metal parts with improved efficiency, helping address requirements related to logistics, sustainment, and deployment.
This milestone builds upon previous successful defense collaborations between Phillips and Meltio, including the deployment of Meltio technology aboard a U.S. Navy ship for onboard metal part manufacturing and the U.S. Department of Defense’s adoption of Meltio’s wire-laser metal 3D printing systems to increase supply chain resilience. These successes highlight the growing relevance of hybrid manufacturing in meeting the evolving demands of military operations.
Meltio has completed an integration with Phillips Corporation, supporting efforts to expand metal additive manufacturing in the defense sector and other key industries.
