Descripción

3DLab's ATOLab+ ultrasonic atomizer enables the production of non-reactive and reactive metal powders for the additive manufacturing sector as well as for more conventional sectors.
Services include the design and manufacture of ad-hoc experimental casts in all types of Fe, Al, Ni,... based materials in the casting unit and their subsequent transformation into powder, with the possibility of graduating the composition of alloys and microalloys.
Another service consists of the manufacture of metal powder from material supplied by the customer in wire, bar or chip format.

AZTERLAN has the most advanced equipment and facilities dedicated to the development and characterization of high-performance metal powders:

  • ATO Lab Plus equipment for the atomization of powders from bars, metal wire or machining chips.
  • Particle size: 20-120 microns, with the possibility of supplying limited ranges by sieving
  • Production capacity: from 20 gr. to several kg.
  • Characterization of metallic powders: Histogram, Fluidity, Spheroidity, Humidity.
  • Argon protected atmosphere.
