Product Overview

The Complete Lab-Scale
Powder Production Platform

Metal 3D printing is only as good as the powder that feeds it. Most labs rely entirely on third-party suppliers —waiting weeks for delivery, paying premium prices for standard alloys, and accepting whatever particle size distribution comes in the bag. The ATO Lab changes that equation: full control over alloy composition, particle size distribution, and batch volume, in a machine that fits a standard lab.

Why In-House Atomization vs. Buying Powder

Buying From Powder Suppliers ATO Lab (In-House)
Standard alloys only — custom compositions unavailable or costly Atomize custom and proprietary alloy formulations on demand
Weeks of lead time and minimum order quantities Produce high-quality powder in as little as one day, no minimum batch
Supplier margin, shipping, and handling in every kilogram Dramatically lower per-kilogram cost from raw material
Print scrap and failed builds are wasted material Closed-loop recycling — re-atomize scrap into fresh usable powder using Induction Melting System
Fixed PSD — whatever comes in the bag Frequency-controlled PSD, tunable from fine LPBF to coarser DED fractions

Built for Material Development Workflows

Ultrasonic Atomization

Ultrasonic Atomization

An electric arc melts feedstock in a pressurized chamber. Ultrasonic vibration ejects uniform droplets that solidify into near-perfect spheres in a cooled argon stream — high sphericity, narrow PSD, low oxygen.

Frequency-Controlled PSD

Frequency-Controlled PSD

Particle size is set by ultrasonic frequency: higher frequencies produce finer powders, lower frequencies coarser fractions. Optional Ultra Frequency System targets ~25 µm powders.

Modular Feeding Systems

Modular Feeding Systems

Wire Feeding (WFS), Single Rod (SRFS), Multi Rod (MRFS), and Revolver Rod feeding options. TIG melting standard, Induction Melting System available as an upgrade.

Closed-Loop Recycling

Closed-Loop Recycling

Re-atomize 3D printing scrap, failed builds, and leftover powder into fresh feedstock — reduce material waste and improve sustainability.

Intuitive Control

Intuitive Control

User-friendly interface with precise parameter control. Operators adjust settings to reach optimal powder properties for each material and application.

Safety Systems

Safety Systems

Cooling water monitoring, automatic gas shut-off valves, and emergency stops. A coating system that increases safety for reactive materials like magnesium.Self-cleaning, long-lifetime filtration for maintenance-free operation keeps the user and machine safe.

Who Uses the ATO Lab?

Designed for environments where material control, small-batch flexibility, and powder quality are non-negotiable.

Who Uses the ATO Lab
Research & Academia

University Labs and R&D Departments

Qualify new materials without purchasing large quantities of commercial powder. Small-batch experimental production with excellent batch-to-batch repeatability.

Who Uses the ATO Lab
Aerospace & Defense

Custom & Exotic Alloy Development

Atomize non-standard compositions, high-entropy alloys, and refractory metals like tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, and tantalum for demanding applications.

Who Uses the ATO Lab
Medical & Dental

Biocompatible Powder Formulations

Low oxygen content and high material purity for titanium and other biocompatible alloys used in implants and patient-specific devices.

Who Uses the ATO Lab
Production Validation

Small Production Operations

Validate new powder formulations before scaling. Powders suitable for LPBF/SLM, DED, Binder Jetting, MIM, HIP, SPS, and powder metallurgy.

Where Does the ATO Lab Live in Your Facility?

A compact, self-sufficient system designed to work in typical lab environments — no complicated infrastructure required.

01

Materials Lab

R&D and Material Development

Fits standard lab spaces with a small, self-sufficient footprint. Typically paired with powder sieving and characterization equipment.

Materials Lab
02

AM Production Cell

Alongside Metal Printers

Positioned next to LPBF or binder jetting systems as the feedstock source. Closed-loop scrap recycling keeps material in-house.

Alongside Metal Printers
03

University Teaching Lab

Education & Research

Low maintenance and operating costs with intuitive controls make it suitable for graduate research and materials science programs.
