Copper 3D printing is one of the newest areas of additive manufacturing - and one of the most growing. Until a few years ago, it was problematic to impossible to print three-dimensional objects with copper because the metal's reflectivity and high thermal conductivity made it difficult to use conventional 3D printers.
As a pioneer in the field of copper 3D printing, EOS has mastered these challenges, so today , using copper advanced applications can be printed, from rocket propulsion systems to copper coils. The material properties of copper make it ideal for any application requiring good conductivity - both in thermal and electronic terms. In the past, copper parts had to be forged, cast or machined. 3D printing with copper now makes it possible to produce much more complex geometries that, for example, increase the efficiency of electric motors or enable new types of heat sinks in power electronics.
