3D Lab launches ATO Sparq and ATO Pure at Formnext 2025

At this year’s Formnext 2025, 3D Lab, headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, has debuted ATO Sparq, an AI-powered metal powder atomiser, along with the ATO Pure, an ultrasonic cleaning and drying device for post-processing metal powders.

Together, the machines are designed to enable customers to design, produce, condition, and reuse powder on-site, in both research and industrial environments.

The new atomiser combines redesigned hardware with advanced control software in an effort to deliver high-quality spherical powders with good flowability and low oxygen content. Feedstock options include wire, rods, ingots, scrap, and more. The machine can be monitored and coordinated remotely, while multi-atomiser control supports multi-material campaigns or higher throughput with shared recipes, data logging, and lot traceability.

ATO Sparq’s automation and integrated materials allows it to guide alloy setup, manage recipes and control atomisation parameters in real time. This approach is designed to reduce operator load while maintaining process consistency.

ATO Pure extends the workflow into post-processing by removing sub-5 µm fines and surface residues that degrade flowability and build stability, then drying to target moisture to help limit oxidation and porosity. The process preserves particle morphology and integrates natively with the control stack, turning cleaning and drying into a repeatable, recipe-driven step that improves material recovery.

3D Lab will showcase its entire powder workflow suite including atomisation, casting, sieving, and cleaning machines at Formnext in hall 11.0, booth B21.
