Sixpenny Additive to offer Meltio’s wire-laser DED in Canada
Meltio, Linares, Spain, has announced that Sixpenny Additive, Toronto, Canada, has become the first Canadian distributor and integration partner for its wire-laser Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing process.
“We are thrilled to bring Meltio’s technology to Canada,” said David Nolan, president of Sixpenny Additive. “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.

Through the partnership, Sixpenny Additive will offer localised support to Canadian customers, including Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) consultation, technical assistance, training, maintenance, and configuring Meltio Engine Additive Manufacturing machines with industrial robots. The company will provide direct access to Meltio’s technology through its service bureau, allowing customers to prototype and produce parts without an upfront machine investment.
Meltio Channel Manager in the United States, Gabriel Ortiz, stated, “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.
