★ Engineered & built in the USA

Meet AO Metal — our own LPBF printer.

We don't just resell metal printers. We design our own. AO Metal is engineered and assembled in the USA, then qualified and supported by the same engineering team that runs our print services. When you call for support, you talk to the team that built the machine.

Five reasons teams choose us over any other vendor

We sell what we run

AO Metal printers we designed. ATO atomizers we built. We use them every day for print services — so we know exactly what we're selling.

Custom alloys, in-house

Need a powder we don't stock? Our atomization team runs custom batches — biocompatible, refractory, proprietary blends — in 3–4 weeks.

Real engineers, not bots

Every quote is reviewed by a named applications engineer. No contact-form roulette, no "we'll get back to you" — actual humans, sub-24h.

Tailored warranty

Every machine ships with a service plan built for your application — not a one-size-fits-all contract. Same-week dispatch on critical issues.

Made in L.A. · WBENC

U.S.-engineered equipment, women-owned business. Eligible for diversity supplier programs at Ford, Boeing, Lockheed and others.

Path 2 · Catalog

Materials you can buy or print with — stocked in L.A., ready to ship.

Explore our full catalog of 3D printing materials — powders, pastes, resins, and consumables — available for direct purchase and fast delivery.

Sample packs on most materials

Available for most stocked SKUs — confirm compatibility with your printer before a full batch. For materials without samples, we'll suggest a validation path. Ask before ordering.

We atomize our own. Custom alloys, in-house.

Need a powder no one stocks? Our ATO atomization lab runs custom batches — typical lead 3–4 weeks. Biocompatible, refractory, proprietary.

Browse all 120+ materials

"Placed our titanium bracket order online — clear pricing, no back-and-forth. Parts shipped in 4 days with a QA report. The whole thing felt like ordering on Amazon, but for production parts. We've moved all our prototyping here."

"We bought an AO Metal LPBF for our R&D group. What sold us was that the engineer who designed the machine answered our pre-sale questions personally. Six months in, support is the same — direct, technical, fast."

Frequently asked questions

Don't see your question? Our team responds personally to any inquiry in under 24 hours.

Do you really design your own metal printers?
Yes — AO Metal is our own LPBF platform, engineered and assembled in the USA. We use it daily for our own print services, so we know it intimately. When you call for support, you talk to the engineering team that built the machine. ITAR-aware, available in single → quad-laser configurations from 100mm to 400mm build volume.
What's the full additive stack you offer?
Powder atomization (ATO Lab), printer hardware (AO Metal + 25 OEM partners for SLA / SLS / FDM / ceramic / FGF), material catalog (120+ SKUs stocked in L.A.), print services on demand, post-processing, 3D scanning, and tailored service plans. One vendor for the entire stack.
How fast can I get a quote on a printed part?
Most quotes return within 24 hours. Fastest we've turned around: 38 minutes (urgent aerospace part). Every quote includes a free DfAM review by a named applications engineer.
How do I evaluate AO Metal or another printer before buying?
Book a 30-minute consult — we'll arrange a demo in our L.A. shop or at your facility. Free, no obligation, NDA standard. We can also send test parts printed on the actual machine for your evaluation.
Can you produce custom metal alloys?
Yes. Our ATO atomization lab runs custom batches — biocompatible, refractory, or proprietary blends. Typical lead 3–4 weeks. We verify PSD and chemistry before shipping. This is the same capability we use to qualify materials for our own AO Metal customers.
Do you sign NDAs?
Mutual NDA is standard before file review. Typical turnaround under 1 hour. We can also work under your company's NDA template.
Do you support aerospace and medical-grade work?
Yes. We work in an ITAR-aware environment, are AS9100 partner-aligned for aerospace, ISO 13485 partner-aligned for medical, NADCAP-accredited for heat treatment, and WBENC certified (eligible for diversity supplier programs at major OEMs).
Where do you manufacture & ship from?
Print services, powder atomization, and warehouse are in Los Angeles. AO Metal printers are engineered and built in the USA. Free delivery within L.A. metro; free U.S. shipping on orders over $200.
