HORKOS and Meltio Launch NX70 DUO Version AM, a Hybrid Metal 3D Printing and Machining SystemHORKOS 与 Meltio 发布 NX70 DUO Version AM：金属 3D 打印与精密切削同机复合
According to an October 24, 2026 report by The Machine Maker, Japanese machine tool builder HORKOS CORP and Spanish metal additive manufacturing developer Meltio have jointly launched the NX70 DUO version AM — a hybrid machine that integrates metal 3D printing and precision cutting in a single manufacturing system. Built on the HORKOS NX70 1510B machining centre and using Meltio’s wire-laser directed energy deposition technology, its dual-head, non-bed architecture lets manufacturers switch between deposition and cutting within one setup, cutting out transfers between machines.据 The Machine Maker 2026 年 10 月 24 日报道，日本机床制造商 HORKOS CORP 与西班牙金属增材制造技术开发商 Meltio 联合推出 NX70 DUO version AM——一台将金属 3D 打印与精密切削集成于同一制造系统的混合加工机床。该机基于 HORKOS NX70 1510B 加工中心打造，采用 Meltio 的丝材激光定向能量沉积（wire-laser metal deposition）技术，双头、无床身（non-bed）结构让制造商可在同一装夹内切换沉积与切削工序，减少零件在多台设备之间的转运。
Meltio’s process uses metal welding wire as feedstock and laser energy to deposit material precisely where needed, serving complex part fabrication, damaged-part repair, remanufacturing and prototyping. The combined deposition-and-cutting approach is especially suited to parts such as closed impellers that conventional tools struggle to reach. The machine has already been sold to a large industrial customer with multinational operations. Kunihiro Ikeda, Director of HORKOS R&D, said the model pairs Meltio’s wire DED with HORKOS precision engineering and its water-soluble iMQL® lubrication system, using automation and process integration to address labour shortages, floor space and environmental compliance.Meltio 的技术以金属焊丝为原料、以激光能量在指定位置沉积材料，可用于复杂零件制造、损伤件修复、再制造与打样。沉积与切削的复合工艺对闭式叶轮等常规刀具难以进入的零件尤为适用。该机已售予一家拥有跨国业务的大型工业客户。HORKOS R&D 部门总监 Kunihiro Ikeda 表示，机型结合了 Meltio 丝材 DED 技术与 HORKOS 的精密工程和水溶性 iMQL® 润滑系统，以自动化与工序集成应对用工短缺、厂房空间与环境合规等挑战。
The technology will be demonstrated — dry-run plus actual printing video — at JIMTOF 2026, the 33rd Japan International Machine Tool Fair, October 26–31 at Tokyo Big Sight, Booth E2001. The same report notes that Phillips Federal has delivered 12 hybrid manufacturing training systems — Haas TM-1P platforms fitted with Meltio deposition — to the US Navy Schoolhouse in Danville, Virginia. MadeHere, Meltio’s official Japanese distributor, will support integration and operations.该技术将于 2026 年 10 月 26 日至 31 日在东京 Big Sight 举行的第 33 届日本国际机床展（JIMTOF 2026）E2001 展台进行干运转演示与实际打印视频展示。另据同一报道，Phillips Federal 已向美国海军 Schoolhouse（弗吉尼亚州丹维尔）交付 12 套 Haas TM-1P 平台加 Meltio 沉积技术的混合制造培训系统。Meltio 在日本的官方总代理 MadeHere 将协助系统集成与运维。
Industry read: for low-volume buyers, compressing “print plus finish” into one setup eliminates transfer, re-datuming and reference error between additive and subtractive steps — particularly worthwhile for repair parts, remanufacturing and closed-flow-path prototypes. Wire DED feedstock costs far less than metal powder, which is the key to the hybrid concept’s economics; however, the public report does not disclose build envelope or deposition rate, so evaluation should still rely on data from JIMTOF.
