The Passivation module designed for the 3D Lab is an automated system that is used to passivate powder materials by slowly adding oxygen to the powder container until it becomes resistant to further reaction with the environment. The passivation process is designed to be controllable and can take between 1-2 hours depending on the type of material being used. The passivation module is designed for use with 3D Lab powder containers, and the automated system ensures that the passivation process is performed safely with no risk of ignition or explosion.

The Multi Rod Feeding System is an optional accessory designed for units in the ATO atomizers series, specifically tailored for atomizing metals using ultrasonic technology. It is exclusively compatible with these devices. The purpose of the accessory is to enable the atomization of materials in the form of a round rod:

• Diameter 4-10 mm and with diameters close to nominal (with use of self-locking collets of sizes 4, 6, 8, 10)
• The maximum length of a single rod or the sum of sections of multiple rods cannot exceed 1200 mm when using an extended tube container

The Single Rod Feeding System is an optional accessory designed for units in the ATO atomizer series, specifically tailored for atomizing metals using ultrasonic technology. It is exclusively compatible with this device. The purpose of this accessory is to enable the atomization of materials in the form of a rod:

• Diameter from 1 to 10 mm. The diameter can vary along the length of the rod.

• Best user experience on 4-6 mm rods. The surface of rods may exhibit imperfections.

• Maximum length of 110 mm.

The ATO Wire Feeding System is your go-to solution for wire-feeding systems capable of handling an array of reactive and non-reactive materials. Wire Feeding System available with a basic ATO configuration opens the door to unparalleled flexibility, productivity, and atomization process automatization.

The ATO Induction Melting System (IMS) is an optional and easy-to-swap module designed to increase the capabilities of the ATO ultrasonic metal atomizers. Dedicated for ultrasonic atomization, this device powders metals and alloys into a fine, homogenous powder. It’s designed to atomize materials with irregular shape feedstock and minimize evaporation of low melting point elements. Ideal for both research labs and Additive Manufacturing centers, it enhances daily operations.Broaden the spectrum of materials you manage, research new ones, scale your powder production, and achieve higher atomization yields.The IMS module enhances your capabilities and eliminates restrictions on material forms. It provides flexibility enabling you to choose the process best for your demands, whatever you want the flexibility of a crucible or the simple setup of rod feeders.

The ATO Sieve is a compact, mobile, and user-friendly powder sieving station designed for metal Additive Manufacturing. With minimal space requirements, it seamlessly integrates into standard laboratory settings. This device facilitates swift and efficient sieving of small powder batches. The solution is designed to work in an inert gas atmosphere suitable for common reactive and non-reactive AM metal powders. Using the same ATO powder container allows for direct powder transfer from ATO atomizers inside the argon shield to the Sieve and prevents material from oxygen. The application of high-frequency ultrasonic vibration prevents screen clogging and guarantees high throughput rates. Alongside screening, the ATO Sieve fills the powder container with inert argon gas to ensure optimal conditions. The device features a user-friendly interface operated via a touch panel. Additionally, the system can be equipped with an oxygen sensor for enhanced functionality.

ATO Clean ultrasonic cleaner is a highly recommended solution for use with ATO series, offering an efficient and hands-free cleaning procedure for the atomizer components that come into contact with powder particles during the atomization process. This cleaning step is crucial for users looking to switch between different material groups for atomization. By removing any residual materials from the atomizer’s components, it ensures the purity of the chemical composition of the produced powder. The machine is specifically designed for cleaning the ATO series parts exposed to powder during the atomization stage, offering a convenient and effective cleaning. The cleaning chamber size is sufficient to process all the components at the same time in a single cleaning session. The process parameters and ultrasonic technology have been fine-tuned to ensure thorough and efficient cleaning, reducing the overall cleaning time. Additionally, the double-filtration system effectively removes impurities and residues from the circulating water, preserving the cleaning properties of the liquid.
