About Welding3D
Welding3D is an independent B2B platform and matching service for industrial metal 3D manufacturing, based in Mönchengladbach. The one-person company founded by Lyam Ludger Schippers supports companies in the DACH region with the technical classification, assessment and selection of wire-laser metal 3D printing systems and connects them with suitable manufacturers for system integration and implementation. The focus is on wire-based laser deposition welding: metal wire is melted by laser and built up layer by layer into load-bearing components – with high deposition rates and minimal material loss. The informational platform covers application areas such as repair and deposition welding, hybrid manufacturing with CNC machining, as well as coating and functional integration on tools and molds. Systems presented include, among others, the Meltio Engine Robot Integration, the Meltio Metal 3D Printer M600 and robotic printing cells. Target industries are mechanical and tool engineering, the energy industry, aerospace, automotive, automation, as well as research and development. The website welding3d.com launched in 2026.
