ATO Cast Induction Vacuum Casting Furnace
The ATO Cast is a compact professional-grade induction vacuum casting furnace.
Price held 7 days after order.
Install + training included
Tailored service plan
What your process engineer actually checks
Clean, oxide-free melts
Induction melting under vacuum keeps oxygen and inclusions out of the melt, so the rods or ingots you cast start clean — the difference shows up later as lower oxygen in the atomized powder.
Cast your own feedstock
Cast rods and ingots in-house as feedstock for the ATO rod feeding systems, or for investment casting — controlled composition without depending on outside suppliers.
An applications engineer on the line
We run melting and atomization in-house through ATO Lab and AO Metal. Alloy melting, casting and feedstock questions — factory-trained engineers, sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
About this product
The ATO Cast is a compact induction vacuum casting furnace that lets you pour your own feedstock rods in-house — from any alloy or from recycled additive-manufacturing scrap — at the purity the ATO ultrasonic atomizers need, with no external supply-chain wait.
Why teams cast their own feedstock
Control the purity, skip the supplier, and put scrap back to work.
Cast rods from any alloy
Design and pour your own feedstock in-house — experimental compositions and re-runs on your schedule, not a supplier’s.
Vacuum + induction purity
A pre-melt resistance furnace and vacuum casting minimize contamination and preserve the alloy’s chemistry.
Close the loop on scrap
Re-cast additive-manufacturing remnants and rejects into fresh rods, cutting material cost and waste.
Compact, touchscreen-simple
A small footprint plus an intuitive touchscreen and software mean consistent results with minimal training.
From alloy to atomizer-ready rod
Casting, feeding and atomization run as one integrated chain.
Step 01
Charge & purify
Load your alloy or additive-manufacturing scrap; the built-in resistance furnace pre-melts and purifies before casting.
Step 02
Vacuum cast
Induction melting under vacuum pours clean rods with minimal contamination and preserved chemistry.
Step 03
Feed the line
The cast rods drop straight into the ATO rod feeders and atomizer — a closed feedstock loop.

Not sure which atomizer fits your alloy?
We run custom batches too. Try before you build the capability.
Want to validate an alloy before buying the system? Our ATO lab runs a custom batch for you in 3–4 weeks — biocompatible, refractory, proprietary — so you see real powder before committing to in-house atomization.

ATO Sieve Ultrasonic Powder Sieving Station – Inert Argon Atmosphere | 3D Lab
The ATO Sieve is an ultrasonic powder sieving station that screens reactive and non-reactive metal AM powder inside an inert argon atmosphere — the same ATO container transfers powder straight from an ATO atomizer, so it never sees oxygen.
- ✓ High-frequency ultrasonic vibration — prevents mesh clogging, keeps throughput high
- ✓ Sieves under inert argon; optional oxygen sensor for reactive metals (Ti, Al, Zr)
- ✓ Direct ATO-container transfer from ATO Lab Plus / ATO Sparq — no air exposure
- ✓ Various screens, optional mesh sizes — configured to your target cut
- ✓ Lead time: configured to order — request current lead time

The ATO Multi Rod Feeding System feeds multiple round rods — 4 to 10 mm diameter in self-locking collets, up to 1200 mm total length — into an ATO ultrasonic atomizer for longer, less-attended runs.
- ✓ Up to 1200 mm total rod length in an extended tube container
- ✓ Round rods 4–10 mm in self-locking collets (4, 6, 8, 10 mm)
- ✓ Longer runs, fewer reloads than single-rod feeding

ATO Noble Ultrasonic Precious Metal Powder Atomizer – Gold, Silver & Platinum | Zero-Loss Recovery
ATO Noble is an ultrasonic atomizer built for precious metals — it turns gold, silver, platinum and palladium feedstock into fine, spherical powder with Zero Loss recovery, so almost none of the high-value metal is lost. TIG melting under an inert argon atmosphere (oxygen below 0.1%) keeps chemistry and karat unchanged through atomization.
- ✓ Purpose-built for gold (9–24ct), silver, platinum, palladium and iridium
- ✓ Zero Loss Technology — closed-loop gas and filtration recover unused metal
- ✓ Spherical, high-flow powder · particle size tuned by ultrasonic frequency
- ✓ Lead time: configured to order — request current lead time

Common questions
Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.
What is the ATO Cast?
It's a compact induction vacuum casting furnace. It casts feedstock rods in-house from any alloy, at the purity the ATO ultrasonic atomizers need.
Why cast rods in-house?
Casting your own rods removes supplier lead times, lets you trial custom alloys on demand, and lets you re-cast additive-manufacturing scrap into fresh feedstock.
How does it keep material pure?
It melts under vacuum with induction heating and includes a resistance furnace for pre-melt purification, minimizing contamination and preserving alloy chemistry.
Can it recycle additive manufacturing scrap?
Yes. Production remnants and rejected parts can be re-cast into new rods, closing a circular manufacturing loop and cutting waste.
Is it hard to operate?
No. An intuitive touchscreen and user-friendly software mean operators reach consistent results with minimal training.
How does it fit the ATO workflow?
The rods it casts feed directly into the ATO rod feeders and atomizers, so casting, feeding and atomization run as one integrated chain.
