What your materials engineer actually checks

The full loop on one bench

Atomize a custom alloy on ATO Lab, characterise it on the CAMSIZER X2+, and print it on the AO Metal A50 — the complete powder-to-part R&D loop from a single supplier, sized for the lab.

Small batches, fast iteration

Atomize a few kilograms at a time instead of waiting on a large minimum order, so you qualify a new alloy in weeks and iterate without a powder-vendor bottleneck.

A materials engineer on the line

We run atomization, characterization and LPBF in-house through ATO Lab and AO Metal.

About this product

Price

Quoted to your configuration

The price depends on how each machine is configured: laser power, the 445 nm blue laser and the 900 °C platform on the A50; the melting, feeding and frequency modules on the ATO Lab; the dispersion modules on the CAMSIZER X2+. You receive one formal quotation for the whole cell on our letterhead with configuration, price, payment terms and lead time: the document your purchasing department asks for. Installation and operator training are included in every quotation. Lead time 8–14 weeks.

What the R&D Bundle is

The R&D Bundle is a complete materials-development cell: an ATO Lab ultrasonic atomizer made by 3D Lab in Warsaw, Poland, a CAMSIZER X2+ particle size and shape analyzer from Microtrac, and an AO Metal A50 laser powder bed fusion printer, designed and built by us in the USA. Without it, every new alloy waits in three outside queues — someone to atomize it, someone to measure it, someone to print it. With it, you design an alloy, atomize it the same week, see its size and shape in minutes, and print it on a machine where every process parameter is yours. Then you change the frequency, the chemistry or the parameters and run the loop again.

The three machines come on one quotation, are installed together and your team is trained on the whole workflow, not on three separate boxes.

The three machines in the cell

Atomize — ATO LabSpherical powder of 20–120 µm; the particle size is set by the ultrasonic frequency module — 20, 35 or 52 kHz. Oxygen below 10 ppm under argon, so titanium, aluminum, nickel, steels, refractory metals and high-entropy alloys all run. Up to 0.3 L/h, in batches sized to the experiment, from wire, rod or scrap.

Measure — CAMSIZER X2+Two cameras photograph every particle: size and shape in one run of 1–3 minutes, 0.9 µm – 8 mm dry. Sphericity, aspect ratio, satellites and oversize grains are counted, and particle width gives a sieve-comparable cut for mesh specifications.

Print — AO Metal A50Floor-standing LPBF, Ø50 × 100 mm build, 1064 nm fiber laser 300–1000 W; optional 445 nm blue laser and 900 °C platform. Fully open: no cartridges, no approved-material list, no annual software subscription. Layers 15–100 µm, accuracy ±0.1%.

How the loop runs

1 · Make the powderLoad your alloy as wire, rod or scrap and atomize it on the ATO Lab with the frequency module for the fraction you need — finer powder from higher frequencies for LPBF. Sieve it, and passivate reactive powder before it meets air.

2 · Measure itThe CAMSIZER X2+ reports the size distribution, sphericity and irregular particles of the batch. If it misses your limits, you change the frequency module or the feedstock — not the printer. Every particle image is stored, so you can look at the particles that caused a failure.

3 · Print and adjustThe A50 prints specimens from the measured powder. You set laser power, scan speed and strategy, hatch spacing and layer thickness, and store your own parameter sets in AO Build Studio. The results decide the next change to the alloy or the process.

Who the cell is for

University and national laboratories that develop new alloys and need to print them, not just publish their composition
Materials and process teams qualifying powder and print parameters for LPBF before scaling up
Reactive-metal R&D — titanium, aluminum and their alloys — where powder handling under argon matters
Groups whose alloys are not sold as catalog powder, or are needed in amounts too small for a powder supplier's minimum order
Labs that want powder quality control — size and shape checked before every build

No atomization tower and no dedicated powder plant: the cell installs in a standard materials lab. The ATO Lab weight is confirmed in the formal quotation. Videos of the machines are in the Video tab above.

Where the R&D Bundle stops — and what to take instead

This is a development cell, not a powder plant. The ATO Lab makes up to about 0.3 L of powder per hour — roughly 0.5 kg/h for Ti6Al4V and 1 kg/h for Inconel 718 or 316 from wire; if you need tonnes of one standard alloy, buying gas-atomized powder remains cheaper, and for a few kilograms without a machine you can order custom alloy powder. Its range is 20–120 µm. The A50 builds up to Ø50 × 100 mm; for larger parts and short production runs the same open platform comes as the A100, and for coupons and teaching there is the benchtop A30. Copper, gold and silver need the optional 445 nm blue laser, and crack-prone alloys the 900 °C platform — both are quoted options, so tell us your alloys. Raw powder still needs sieving and, for reactive metals, passivation: plan for ATO Sieve, ATO Clean and the Passivation Module. The CAMSIZER X2+ measures size and shape, not chemistry or oxygen content — those need a separate chemical analysis. If you want AI-guided parameter setup and one operator supervising several atomizers, look at the ATO Sparq. And if the cell is for gold, silver and platinum, take the Jewelry Bundle with the ATO Noble and the A100.

R&D Bundle: ATO Lab atomizer, CAMSIZER X2+ analyzer and AO Metal A50 metal LPBF printer — One cell, three machines — atomize, analyze and print your own alloys

Availability, payment and delivery

Built to orderEach machine in the cell is configured for your alloys. Lead time for the bundle is 8–14 weeks after a confirmed order; the quotation states the date in writing.

How you payAsk for one formal quotation for the whole cell on our letterhead — configuration, price, payment terms and lead time — and pay against an invoice. We are registered in SAM.gov as a small business, so federal and university purchasing works the usual way.

What arrivesThe ATO Lab, the CAMSIZER X2+ and the A50 with the modules you ordered, AO Build Studio and DIMENSIONS software. Installation and operator training are included in every quotation and carried out by US service engineers; 12-month warranty.

Why buy it through Additive Plus

One supplier for the whole loopAO Metal is our own printer line; we are the authorized US distributor of ATO by 3D Lab and an authorized Microtrac reseller. One quotation, one team in California

Installation and training includedAll three machines installed and your operators trained by US service engineers — part of every quotation. 12-month warranty

Test before you decideFree powder samples of standard alloys, a free CAMSIZER test measurement of your powder, a paid trial atomization of your own alloy — and an ATO running at UC Irvine

What usually stops people — and the honest answer

“We cannot justify three machines at once.”Each machine is also sold on its own — the ATO Lab, the CAMSIZER X2+ and the A50. The bundle is for teams that want the whole loop under one quotation and one installation; if you already own a printer or an analyzer, ask us to quote only what is missing.

“Ultrasonic powder is unproven for our printer.”Ask for a free sample of a standard alloy and run it on the machine you have, or see an ATO atomizer working at UC Irvine. For your own composition, a paid trial atomization gives you powder before you commit.

“We do not have a powder facility.”You do not need one. The cell runs on three-phase power, argon, compressed air and a chiller — utilities a materials lab already has or can add. The facility table above is what your facilities team plans against.

“Reactive alloys are a safety risk.”The ATO Lab chamber is evacuated and filled with argon, oxygen stays below 10 ppm during atomization, and powder is collected under argon in a sealed container. The platform is CE-marked, and the Passivation Module treats reactive powder before it meets air.

“We will spend months finding parameters.”3D Lab supplies a parameter database for common materials on the atomizer, and the A50 comes with the print programs we already run for the standard alloys. Every parameter stays open, every atomization run is logged, and because the CAMSIZER measures each batch you change one variable at a time instead of guessing.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA on request, typical reply within 4 hours.

What is included in the R&D Bundle?

Three machines as one materials-development cell: the ATO Lab ultrasonic metal powder atomizer by 3D Lab, the Microtrac CAMSIZER X2+ particle size and shape analyzer, and the AO Metal A50 laser powder bed fusion printer. Installation and operator training for all three are included in every quotation.

What problem does the bundle solve?

It brings the whole materials-development loop into your own lab. Instead of sending a new alloy out to be atomized, measured and printed, you atomize it on the ATO Lab, check its size and shape on the CAMSIZER X2+, print it on the A50 and iterate — without outside queues.

How much does the R&D Bundle cost?

The bundle is quoted to your configuration: laser power, blue laser and 900 °C platform on the A50, melting, feeding and frequency modules on the ATO Lab, and dispersion modules on the CAMSIZER X2+ all change the price. Request a formal quotation and you receive configuration, price, payment terms and lead time on our letterhead.

What powder can the ATO Lab make?

Spherical metal powder of 20–120 µm, up to about 0.3 L per hour — several hundred grams per hour depending on the alloy. The particle size is set by the ultrasonic frequency module (20, 35 or 52 kHz), and oxygen stays below 10 ppm in the chamber, so titanium, aluminum, nickel, steels, refractory metals and high-entropy alloys can all be atomized.

What does the CAMSIZER X2+ measure?

Particle size and shape from 0.9 µm to 8 mm (dry) by dynamic image analysis per ISO 13322-2, in one to three minutes per sample. For metal AM powder it reports sphericity, aspect ratio, irregular and satellite-carrying particles, oversize grains and a sieve-comparable particle width.

What does the AO Metal A50 offer?

A floor-standing LPBF printer with a Ø50 × 100 mm build envelope, a 1064 nm fiber laser of 300–1000 W, an optional 445 nm blue laser for copper, gold and silver, and an optional 900 °C platform for crack-prone alloys. It is fully open: no cartridges, no approved-material list and no annual software licence.

Which alloys can the cell work with?

3D Lab has stable atomization procedures for steels such as 316L, titanium alloys including Ti6Al4V, Inconel 625 and 718, aluminum alloys such as AlSi10Mg, magnesium, copper, refractory metals, high-entropy and precious alloys; other meltable compositions can be atomized after parameter development. The A50 prints any metal powder you qualify.

Who is the R&D Bundle for?

University and national labs, materials and process teams, and companies that develop or qualify their own metal powders — especially alloys that are not sold as catalog powder or are needed in small amounts.

What is the lead time and warranty?

Lead time for the bundle is 8–14 weeks after a confirmed order; the quotation states the date. The warranty is 12 months, with US service engineers.

Are installation and training included?

Yes. Installation and operator training for all three machines are included in every quotation and carried out by US service engineers.

What does our lab need to install the cell?

Three-phase power for the ATO Lab (400–440 V, 12–20 kW installed), 110 V single-phase or 220 V three-phase for the A50 depending on laser power, argon, compressed air and an external chiller for the atomizer. No atomization tower or dedicated powder plant is required.

Can we test before we buy?

Yes. Free powder samples of standard alloys and a free CAMSIZER test measurement of your powder are available, a paid trial atomization of your own alloy can be arranged, and you can see an ATO atomizer running at UC Irvine.

How does it compare with the Jewelry Bundle?

The R&D Bundle pairs the ATO Lab with the A50 for general alloy development, including reactive and refractory metals. The Jewelry Bundle pairs the ATO Noble, adapted for gold, silver and platinum with Zero Loss recovery, with the larger A100. Both include the CAMSIZER X2+.

Can we buy the machines separately?

Yes. The ATO Lab, the CAMSIZER X2+ and the A50 are each sold on their own. If you already own a printer or an analyzer, we quote only what is missing.
