Frequently Asked Questions

The MPS500 is a fully integrated, turnkey robotic metal 3D printing cell developed by Force Automation. It uses Meltio’s wire-laser Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology and a 6-axis ABB robotic arm to produce high-quality metal parts with speed, precision, and repeatability.

Both systems share the same enclosed, plug-and-print design, but the MPS500B features a bluelight laser printhead. The blue laser offers greater energy absorption for reflective metals like copper and aluminum, enabling finer resolution and lower heat distortion.

These systems support a wide range of welding wire materials, including stainless steel, mild steel, titanium, Inconel, aluminum, and copper—ideal for aerospace, energy, defense, and repair applications.

Yes. The MPS platform is designed for hybrid workflows, allowing users to combine additive and subtractive manufacturing processes. This is especially useful for part repairs, feature enhancements, and post-processing precision.

Force Automation offers fully enclosed, self-contained cells that are pre-configured for immediate deployment. Each unit includes integrated cooling, a multi-axis build platform, and remote-ready software—reducing setup time and maximizing efficiency.

Force Automation delivers fully turnkey solutions that blend advanced robotics, additive manufacturing, and intuitive software into one cohesive system. Unlike traditional integrators, we handle everything in-house—from design and installation to training and support—ensuring a seamless, high-performance solution that works right out of the box. Our focus is on reducing complexity, accelerating deployment, and helping manufacturers scale smarter.

Force Automation’s Meltio Cells are powered by ABB 6-axis robotic arms but also support integrations with other major brands like KUKA, FANUC, and Yaskawa through Meltio Space software.

The MPS500 operates on 208–240V three-phase power and has a compact footprint designed for small-to-mid-size manufacturing floors. It is fully enclosed, ventilated, and safe for use in industrial and lab environments.

Yes. Force Automation provides comprehensive installation, training, and ongoing support to help teams get up and running quickly. Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting tools are also included with every system.

Absolutely. In addition to selling turnkey systems, Force Automation specializes in custom robotic integrations for advanced manufacturing workflows. Whether you need a specialized print cell or a multi-cell production line, our team can help engineer a tailored solution.
