Meld Manufacturing offers a solid-state metal additive manufacturing process – no melting is involved. Metal parts are 3D printed in the open air using a process based on friction stir welding. This video shows a Meld AM machine tool that 3D prints by rotating, compressing and deforming metal barstock.
