We’re really proud to announce that this year we will once again be a partner of the Belgian Innoptus Solar Team. With our shared goal of pushing the boundaries of technology, we’re delighted to be part of such an innovative project.

About the Innoptus Solar Team

The Innoptus Solar Team is a team of Belgian engineering students that competes to build the most innovative and efficient solar car. Indeed, they are currently the solar car world champions, having won races in, among other countries, Chile, Australia, and Belgium. 

Next up on the agenda: the SASOL Solar Challenge, which will run from September 13-20, 2024, in South Africa. 

Together with its partners, the team wants to push each other to achieve new, previously unimaginable heights. The combined synergy between the team and its partners is an incubator for the rise of new, renewable technologies. And this is an objective that we really want to support.

As a pioneer in 3D metal printing since 2007, Melotte is proud to announce that it has recently invested in a new 3D metal printer manufactured by the company DMG Mori.

Melotte started 17 years ago with the 3D metal printing of dental protheses.Subsequently, the company has also been involved in printing frames for glasses and even jewelry. Nowadays, Melotte mainly focuses on the 3D printing of industrial parts, such as flow reactors, filter components, machine parts, etc. 

At Melotte, we combine 3D metal printing with milling, turning, electro-erosion, and grinding, in order to reach the required tolerances and the final desired look. Melotte can assist you from project definition to the design and optimization of your CAD models all the way through to the successful implementation of 3D metal printing in your value chain.

The new 3D metal printer is a Lasertec 30 dual SLM manufactured by the company DMG Mori that is equipped with two 600-W fiber lasers. The build volume of the 3D metal printer is 300 mm x 300 mm x 350 mm. 

If you have any questions regarding this new printer, please feel free to contact our team.

On March 28 and 29, 2024, Melotte participates in D2M in Kortrijk Xpo (Belgium). D2M is the leading networking and demo event for the manufacturing industry. Melotte will be presenting its high-precision manufacturing and 3D metal printing services. 

Come and visit us at Booth 556. We look forward to meeting you!

Sustainability and attention to our ecological and carbon footprint are an important part of our lives. Investing in green energy figures prominently in such a sustainable future.

As a company, we want to incorporate sustainability into all the actions we undertake. That’s why we’ve recently invested in 490 solar panels, accounting for a total capacity of 267 kWp or a production capacity of 238 MWh/year at our company premises in Zonhoven (Belgium).

By doing this, we are taking another step toward renewable energy.

Remember the Belgian Innoptus Solar Team? Well, Melotte once again collaborated this year on the Innoptus Solar Team’s latest solar car. To be more specific, among other things, Melotte produced the newly-designed wheel house and delivered it to very precise specifications.

About the Innoptus Solar Team

The Innoptus Solar Team is a team of Belgian engineering students that competes to build the most innovative and efficient solar car. They are the current world champions, having won races in Chile, Australia, and Belgium.

Next up on the agenda: the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, which will run from October 22 – 29, 2023. It will cover a distance of more than 3,000 kilometers through the Australian Outback, from Darwin in the north of the country to Adelaide in the south.

About the newly-designed wheel house

This year, Melotte supported the Innoptus Solar Team with the production of the newly-designed wheel house. This wheel house will function as housing for the wheel system and as steering system for the active wheel cover system, which is one of the new technologies of the latest solar car.

Melotte’s newest milling machine, the Yasda PX30i, was used for the production of these parts. The Yasda PX30i makes it possible to manufacture even more unique and complex products that involve specific quality requirements.

Stay tuned

Stay tuned for more updates because in a few weeks, we’ll be publishing more pictures on our social media channels of the Melotte parts being mounted into the solar car.
