Bridging Fundamental Materials Research and Industrial Production

FZU Works with ATO to Connect Lab-Scale Research and Industrial Production

FZU – Institute of Physics is one of the Czech Republic’s leading research institutions, working across six major physics domains, including a national center focused on materials, coatings, and their applications.

FZU’s fundamental materials research and its industrial additive manufacturing work were operating separately. FZU needed a way to connect microscopic-level research directly to real, manufactured materials.

Learn how:

• A compact ultrasonic atomizer fit FZU’s limited lab space while giving researchers full control over alloy composition.
• Interchangeable frequency modules let researchers tune particle size distribution for each specific research goal.
• FZU can now move from alloy theory to finished 3D-printed part entirely in-house, without leaving the lab.
