Copper printed Processed by DMSL on Desktop Metal®’s Studio System™ is pure copper. Unlike laser-based processes such as DMLS, which often print chromium zirconium copper (CuCr1Zr), bound metal deposition (BMD) is able to print pure copper. This enables for a thermal and electrical conductivity that you would expect from pure copper. 3D printing parts in copper is the best alternative to machining which most of the time turns out to be a more expensive fabrication process because copper’s extreme ductility and cold workability lead to high tool wear and slow cutting rates. In addition, the printing with the Studio System permits new high-performance designs such as the incorporation of lattice structures or conformal cooling channels to improve heat transfer that is not possible with traditional manufacturing. Applications: - Electrical Equipment
- Automotive
- Plumbing
- Oil & Gas
- Heat Transfer Applications
- Consumer Industries
