From idea to industrial application

Developing a new component in high-performance metals involves technical uncertainty. Meltonic follows a structured Test Before Invest approach, helping organisations validate new materials, manufacturing processes and applications before making significant investments. Depending on where you are now, you can start at an entry point or sign up for a long-term strategic partnership.

 

Most initial conversations start with a Feasibility Sprint. Together we’ll find the route that fits your use case.

1

Feasibility Sprint

1 – 3 months

Validate your idea before making large investments
A Feasibility Sprint is the fastest way to determine whether your component, material or application is suitable for EB-PBF. Together we evaluate the technical feasibility, develop an initial process route and manufacture a first demonstrator.

Typical outcome
  • Demonstrator component
  • Material and process assessment
  • Technical go/no-go recommendation

2

Development track

3 – 6 months

Transform a promising concept into a validated prototype
This project focuses on prototype development, process optimisation and application-specific validation. Starting from your existing design, research results or a feasibility study, we develop and validate a manufacturable solution while generating the technical data required for the next stage of development.

Typical outcome
  • Functional prototype
  • Optimised AM process
  • Validation data and technical documentation

Strategic Partnership

continuous

Develop long-term capabilities together
For organisations with multiple applications or strategic manufacturing ambitions, Meltonic offers long-term partnerships focused on research, process development and innovation. Partners gain access to our expertise, facilities and collaborative R&D ecosystem while jointly developing new materials, processes and applications.
