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.

FEATURES
The ECO grinding & polishing head with adjustable swivelling limits is equipped with recessed grips on both sides and integrated buttons for easy swivelling and adjustment. A large gap between the working surface and the polishing head ensures convenient changing of the sample holder.
After removal of the splash protection ring, the working wheel is freely accessible. The wheel is automatically arrested when placed on the new mounting system. On lifting the wheel, all parts below are accessible for easy cleaning.
The ECO polishing head is equipped with LED illumination of the working area and a holder for the nozzles of the Qdoser ECO dosing system. Water is supplied automatically via the head.
QATM offers a wide selection of standard sample holders in various diameters and for different applications and machines. Samples with unusual dimensions can be clamped with the help of special design sample holders.
The automatic grinders and polishers can be combined with the fully automatic dosing system Qdoser ECO or the manual dosing solution Qdoser One, thus offering a high degree of flexibility for sample preparation and ease of use.

Unedited feedback from customers who reorder QPOL 250 A1-ECO.
★★★★★
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.
