Aluminum mold for APSX-PIM
$375
What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.
Qualified parameters, not just powder
Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.
APSX-PIM Standard Aluminum Mold Specification & Ordering
- Mold Description:
- Material: 6061 Aluminum
- Manufacturing: CNC Machined (Spyder CNC)
- Dimensions: 4.8″ (W) x 6.0″ (H) x 2.0″ (D)
- Status: Supplied with alignment pins, bushings, mounting bolts, and claws pre-installed.
- Requirement: Cavities require customer machining.
- Mounting Hardware:
- Left Side: Four (4) shoulder bolts (included).
- Right Side: Claws (included).
- Note: Multiple mold orders receive only one set of claws.
- Installation & Alignment:
- Orientation: Mount the mold so its upper side is flush with Block 4’s upper side.
- Shoulder Bolt Purpose: Intentionally longer to create a small gap between the mold and nozzle plate when unclamped.
- Cooling Benefit: This gap minimizes heat transfer, keeping the mold cooler. Full contact with the nozzle plate only occurs when fully clamped.
- Alignment Check Procedure:
- Install the mold using the shoulder bolts (left) and claws (right).
- Use the machine’s manual control buttons to initiate clamping.
- HALT the machine as soon as the mold halves begin to mate.
- Pin/Bushing Note: Pins and bushings are a tight fit. Do not press by hand; rely on the machine’s clamping force for final seating.
- Additional Features:
- Temperature Sensor Port: Thread size M3 (located on the mold side).

We atomize our own. Custom variants on request.
Tighter PSD, modified chemistry, custom blend? Our ATO atomization lab runs custom batches in 3–4 weeks. Biocompatible, refractory, proprietary — all in-house, verified before ship.
From process engineers running Aluminum mold for APSX-PIM
Unedited feedback from customers who reorder Aluminum mold for APSX-PIM.
Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.
Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.
COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
