Hands-on training with ATO Technology! 👨🏻🔬⚙️♻️⚪ We had a great time at 3D Lab – AM & ATOmization hosting the Swinburne University of Technology team for a training session on the use of their ATO Cast and ATO Lab Plus systems which they choose for the metal powder production and research. The team learned how to recover metal from other processes and cast it to atomize later in the ATO Lab Plus to produce high-quality metal powders perfect for #metalAM, thermal spraying and other advanced applications. 💡   This training has empowered them to take full advantage of in-house powder production and casting capabilities, giving the flexibility to meet their research and industrial needs. Andrew Ang and Sam Pinches appreciated the ATO Lab Plus advanced safety systems, automation features and flexibility to easily switch between alloys.   We're look forward to see how Swinburne will innovate their projects with novel metal powders! 🚀 #ATOTechnology #SwinburneUniversity #MetalAtomization #MetalPowder #AdditiveManufacturing #ThermalSpraying #MakeMetalPowderYourself

🔬 Exploring the rising demand for #Magnesium metal powders (10-100 µm) The demand for magnesium powders is surging, driven by advances in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics. These powders, especially in the 10-100 µm range, are crucial for applications that require lightweight materials with high strength-to-weight ratios. Magnesium’s low density and excellent mechanical properties make it ideal for 3D printing, Additive Manufacturing, and powder metallurgy processes. We recently conducted a atomization of ZX00 magnesium alloy powder for one of our clients, demonstrating its outstanding properties for use in lightweight structural components and high-strength applications. The ZX00 magnesium alloy powder, produced using ATO Induction Melting System with Ultrasonic Atomization delivers exceptional properties for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios, driving innovations in fuel efficiency and structural integrity. 📖 Read the full article to learn more about ZX00's properties and potential applications in advanced manufacturing. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/drdkdRrq   #ATOTechnology #MaterialsEngineering #UltrasonicAtomization #Magnesium #ZX00 #AdditiveManufacturing #metalAM #metalpowder #3DPrinting #Innovation #Aerospace #Biomedical #Medical #Automotive #Manufacturing

3D Lab – AM & ATOmization secured patents for Metal Powder Atomization in the USA and China. 3D Lab – one of the oldest companies operating in the Polish AM industry – has been developing proprietary metal powder atomization machines under the ATO Lab brand for several years. Recently, 3D Lab announced two major achievements in this area. The company successfully obtained patent protection for selected areas of its technology in the USA and China. The ATO Lab ultrasonic metal atomizer is designed for lab-scale production of metal powders used in additive manufacturing, as well as in other fields of industrial production such as powder metallurgy, thermal spray coatings, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and metal injection molding (MIM). Ideal for research and production environments, it enables efficient and cost-effective production of reactive and non-reactive metal powders. Typically, powder atomization systems are large industrial installations, but in the case of ATO Lab, their size is significantly smaller, resembling a small metal 3D printer in terms of dimensions. Two weeks ago, 3D Lab announced the granting of a Chinese Patent for the innovative technology incorporated into its ATO atomizers, titled "A method for evacuation of powder produced by ultrasonic atomization and a device for implementing this method." Now, the company has added a U.S. patent to the list: "Method and device for producing heavy metal powders by ultrasonic atomization." The patented technology is at the core of the company’s ATO series of ultrasonic metal atomizers, which produces high-quality spherical metal powders with precise control over particle size, excellent flowability, and low oxygen content—critical for Additive Manufacturing and various industrial applications.
