What your process engineer actually checks
Atomize what you cast
Feed rods directly — 1 to 10 mm diameter, including cast rods — so you can atomize small, custom or experimental alloys without first drawing them into wire. Best results come on 4–6 mm rods.
Custom shapes, not just round
The basic feeder upgrades to a Custom Shape Feeder adapted to feedstock in an individual shape — useful when your material does not come as standard wire or round rod.
An applications engineer on the line
We run ATO ultrasonic atomization in-house through ATO Lab. Rod selection, cast-feedstock and custom-shape questions — factory-trained engineers, sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
About this product
ATO Single Rod Feeding System is an accessory for ATO ultrasonic atomizers that feeds rod feedstock directly into the melt — atomizing rods from 1 to 10 mm diameter and up to 110 mm long, including cast rods, so you can atomize small, custom or experimental alloys without drawing them into wire first.
Why atomize from rod
Rod feed lets you run alloys you cast or machine in-house — no wire-drawing step in between.
Rod 1–10 mm diameter
Atomizes rod feedstock from 1 to 10 mm; the diameter can even vary along the rod length. Best user experience on 4–6 mm rods.
Works with cast rods
Runs cast rods directly — atomize alloys you cast in-house without first drawing them into wire.
Up to 110 mm rods
Feeds single rods up to 110 mm long into the ultrasonic atomizer, ideal for small-batch and trial quantities.
Custom Shape upgrade
The basic feeder upgrades to a Custom Shape Feeder — adapted to feedstock in an individual, non-standard shape.
Feedstock specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Rod diameter | 1–10 mm (best on 4–6 mm; may vary along the rod length) |
| Maximum rod length | 110 mm |
| Feedstock forms | Round rods, including cast rods; Custom Shape Feeder option |
| Compatibility | ATO ultrasonic atomizers (exclusive accessory) |
Rod surfaces may exhibit minor imperfections; feedstock cleaning with ATO Wipe is recommended for best powder purity.
How the Single Rod feeder runs

Step 02
Ultrasonic atomize
The rod feeds into the ultrasonic atomizer at optimized parameters to produce spherical powder.
Step 03
Swap or upgrade
Change rods between runs, or upgrade to the Custom Shape Feeder for non-standard feedstock.

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.

What does the ATO Single Rod Feeding System do?
The ATO Single Rod Feeding System is an accessory for ATO ultrasonic atomizers that feeds a single metal rod into the melt for atomization. It handles rods from 1 to 10 mm diameter and up to 110 mm long, including cast rods, so you can atomize small, custom or experimental alloys directly. It is exclusively compatible with ATO atomizers and is ideal for small-batch and trial quantities.
What rod sizes can it atomize?
The Single Rod Feeding System accepts rods from 1 to 10 mm in diameter, and the diameter can vary along the length of the rod. The best user experience is on 4 to 6 mm rods. Maximum rod length is 110 mm. Rod surfaces may show minor imperfections; feedstock cleaning with ATO Wipe is recommended for the best powder purity.
Can it atomize cast rods?
Yes. The Single Rod Feeding System can work with cast rods, so you can atomize alloys you cast in-house without first drawing them into wire. This makes it well suited to experimental and custom alloys produced in small quantities, where wire drawing would be impractical or wasteful.
What is the Custom Shape Feeder upgrade?
The basic Single Rod feeder can be upgraded to a Custom Shape Feeder, which is adapted to feedstock in an individual, non-standard shape. This lets you atomize material that does not come as standard wire or a round rod. Additive Plus can advise whether the standard feeder or the Custom Shape option fits your feedstock.
Which atomizers is it compatible with?
The Single Rod Feeding System is an optional accessory designed exclusively for ATO ultrasonic atomizers, such as ATO Lab Plus and ATO Sparq. It is not a standalone unit — it feeds rod into an ATO atomizer. Additive Plus configures it to match your specific atomizer and rod feedstock.
What is the lead time and how is it priced?
The ATO Single Rod Feeding System is configured to order and priced per configuration, including the optional Custom Shape Feeder, so pricing and lead time depend on your atomizer and feedstock. Request a quote and an Additive Plus applications engineer will confirm the right configuration, current lead time and a full quotation — usually with a sub-4h first response.
