OUR PARTNER 3D LAB AT FORMNEXT

3DLAB

The company 3D LAB introduced the ATO Suite at Formnext 2024 as a comprehensive system capable of producing high-quality spherical metal powders from various feedstocks, including manufacturing scrap. This capability is crucial for companies aiming to reduce manufacturing costs and enhance material innovation. The integrated and modular design of the suite allows researchers and manufacturers to customize powders, facilitating experimentation with novel alloys that can lead to significant advancements in additive manufacturing.

Jakub Rozpendowski, CEO of 3D Lab, emphasized the industry’s need for innovative solutions. “The interest we saw at our stand reflects the industry’s need for solutions that go beyond the conventional,” Rozpendowski stated. “Innovating materials isn’t just important—it’s critical to staying competitive in today’s market. The ATO Suite addresses this need by offering unmatched flexibility, sustainability, and efficiency.”

Formnext 2024 also saw the introduction of new technologies within the ATO Suite. The ATO Wipe, an ultrasonic feedstock cleaning system, ensures the purity of wires and rods used in atomization, thereby enhancing powder quality and minimizing contamination risks. Additionally, the ATO Remote Control, a tablet-based monitoring and operation system, allows for real-time management of multiple ATO atomizers, optimizing productivity and reducing the need for manual intervention. These advancements complement existing components like the ATO Cast and Induction Melting System and the ATO Sieve, creating a unified solution for metal powder production and processing.

In an era where resource optimization is essential, the ATO Suite supports a closed-loop manufacturing process by recovering and reusing 3D printing scraps, low-quality powders, and other production remnants. This approach reduces waste and lowers operational costs, providing a strategic advantage for businesses operating under tight economic conditions.
