Metal powders are used in tooling to produce molds, inserts and dies for a variety of applications. The use of metal powders in tooling allows for greater design flexibility, improved strength and durability, and reduced production time and costs. Powder metallurgy is often used in tooling to produce complex shapes and geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods.

The metal powders produced by the ATO Lab Plus ultrasonic metal powder atomizers are highly desirable in the tooling industry due to their high quality and purity. ATO metal powders have a low oxygen content, excellent flowability, and a narrow particle size distribution, making them ideal for the production of high performance tools and molds. The ability to produce metal powders from a wide range of materials, including refractory and high-entropy metals, allows for greater design flexibility and the production of more durable and wear-resistant tools. 

The tooling industry uses a wide range of alloys, including tool steels, high speed steels, tungsten carbide and various metal matrix composites. Aluminum and titanium alloys are also used in some tooling applications for their light weight and corrosion resistance.
