ACNS, Milly-la-forêt, France, has been announced as an official integrator of the new Meltio Engine Blue from Meltio, Linares, Spain. The addition is expected to expand French CNC and robotic manufacturing, and is supported by Multistation, Meltio’s official sales partner for the French market.

“We are glad to start this partnership with Meltio and integrate the revolutionary Meltio Engine Blue on CNC and robots for the benefit of French industry,” stated Emmanuel Mignot, CEO at ACNS. “We are impressed by the efficiency of the system and think it’s a real breakthrough, enabling non-experts to quickly acquire a good command of printing a wide range of metals.”

“We target to expand quickly our [wire-laser Additive Manufacturing] offer and the market in France, and we are committed to designing meaningful, smart, and ergonomic machines for our customers. We trust there is a strong business case for repairing parts, adding function to existing parts, or building quickly one-off parts. Our comprehensive mastering of CNC and robots secures our customers’ innovative projects,” added Mignot.

ACNS functions in the industrial machinery and numerical control sector, where it has completed over 900 projects using automation, robotics and industrial data connection since its founding in 1993. Under the agreement with Meltio, the company plans to integrate the Meltio Engine Blue into vertical machining centres and industrial robot arms using Meltio’s integration kit, bringing Additive Manufacturing capabilities to a wider range of industries and applications.

Francisco González, Head of EMEA at Meltio, added, “We are thrilled to be working with ACNS and Multistation in the French market, as this collaboration between us serves as a great indicator of how Meltio’s partner ecosystem is evolving. Together we will be able to cater to the ever-growing interest in Meltio’s technology and its applications. As well as by leveraging ACNS knowledge, we will be able to further develop the adoption of Meltio’s unique wire-laser metal Additive Manufacturing for different industries.”
