What your process engineering lead actually checks
Supported by the team that runs it
We run AO Metal and partner systems daily for our own print services, so install, training, and first builds are handled by engineers who actually operate the machine. When you call support, you reach the team that qualified it.
An applications engineer on the line
Questions on build volume, laser config, throughput, or material compatibility? A named applications engineer scopes it directly — not a sales rep. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
About this product
Lab-sized, production-ready metal 3D printing. The A100 is a laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) printer — it melts metal powder directly with a laser to make fully dense, functional parts in one step. Our largest build volume, fully open, made in the USA, and built to take you from idea to qualified part in your own lab.
Largest build · Production-ready
Why teams choose the A100
◆
Fully dense parts, one step
A laser melts metal powder directly — fully dense, isotropic parts at ~±0.1% in a single step. No sinter furnace, no ~20% shrinkage, and none of the loose tolerances filament-and-sinter “metal printers” leave behind.
⚙
Fully open — your machine, your alloys
Every parameter exposed, no locked cartridges or vendor recipes. Run 16+ metals, develop your own alloys, change material in under 3 hours.
✦
Blue + IR laser, made in the USA
An optional 445 nm blue laser prints reflective metals like copper, gold and silver; the 900 °C platform handles refractory metals. Built and supported locally.
Performance × price
Production performance — at a price labs can budget.
Genuine, fully-open LPBF — up to 12 m/s scan speed and fully dense ±0.1% parts — without the six-figure cost of a production cell. It’s why research labs choose the A100 to develop new materials and applications in-house.

★ Industry first
The first industrial blue laser through the scanhead
Infrared can’t couple into reflective metals — the optional 445 nm, 250 W blue laser prints copper, gold and silver cleanly, with finer features and smoother surfaces.

Develop your own alloys — a powder-to-part lab
Research & materials developmentResearch labs build new materials here.
The A100 pairs with the ATO Lab+ atomizer and a CAMSIZER X2 analyzer into a complete in-house bench: atomize a custom alloy, verify its particle size and morphology, then print it — turning alloy development from months into days, without the powder ever leaving the building.
01
ATO Lab+ · atomize
Produce spherical powders (PSD 20–120 µm, sphericity >0.95) from almost any alloy — near-zero waste.
02
CAMSIZER X2 · verify
Measure particle size and shape (0.8 µm–8 mm, ISO 13322-2) so every batch is qualified before it prints.
03

Open-parameter LPBF — print the powder you just made into functional metal parts.

Frequently asked
How is the A100 different from cheaper “metal printers”?
It is laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF): a laser melts metal powder directly into fully dense, isotropic parts at ~±0.1% in one step. Filament-and-sinter printers add a separate furnace step and shrink ~20% — the A100 does not.
Can I order online?
Yes — you can order the base A100-300 online to reserve your build slot, with a 12–16 week lead time. For higher laser power (500/1000 W), the optional blue laser, or the 900 °C platform, request a quick quote so we configure the right model.
What metals can it print?
16+ metals: stainless and tool steels (H13, M300), titanium (Ti64), Inconel (625/718), cobalt chrome, nickel-titanium, Fe-Co-V, aluminium, copper and CuCrZr, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, magnesium, and precious metals like gold and silver. The open system also runs your own custom alloys.
Can I develop my own alloys?
Yes. Every parameter is open, and paired with the ATO Lab+ atomizer and CAMSIZER X2 analyzer you can make, verify and print your own powders in-house — turning alloy development from months into days.
How fast is it, and what about material changes?
Scan speed reaches up to 12 m/s, and material changes take under 3 hours — ideal for rapid prototyping and R&D where alloys change often.
What are the facility requirements?
A 1150 × 730 × 2050 mm footprint (350–450 kg by model) on 110 V single-phase (300 W) or 220 V three-phase (500/1000 W), with argon under 2 L/min — lab-ready, no special facility build-out.
Is it really made in the USA?
Yes — the A100 is designed and assembled in the USA by a women-owned company, with local manufacturing, parts and support.
What’s the lead time, and what’s included?
12–16 weeks, including the AO Build Studio slicer & control software, spare-parts kit, warranty, on-site installation and training, and parameter-development support.
