What is Copper? Understanding Its Thermal and Electrical Conductivity

Fused Deposition Modeling [FDM]

Copper

parts combine good mechanical properties with thermal and electrical conductivity, making them ideal for various applications. Using copper-impregnated filaments in FDM printing, a copper part can be created by baking the printed object to eliminate the plastic binder material, leaving behind a pure copper structure. This alloy can be tested to rough conditions where pure copper cannot be

achieved

Material Copper

is renowned for its high ductility and high thermal properties, making it an ideal material for various applications. Its malleability and workability have posed challenges for 3D printing until new techniques were developed. Additionally, copper's high stiffness, low magnetic permeability, and high elongation at break are notable characteristics in 3D printed parts. Its high thermal and electrical conductivity make it suitable for producing tooling, induction coils, and heat sinks in

additive manufacturing.

Accuracy

Accuracy  0.50 mm + 0.5%

For example: a product with dimensions of 50x50x100 mm can be ±0.5% with a lower limit of ±050 mm (±0.020″) bigger or smaller in any direction.

Protection

IP protection is what most people are worried about when it comes to 3D printing because we get orders in which we have to copy the original design precisely.

Non-Disclosure Agreements

We uphold strict confidentiality by default for all customer communication, projects, and models. Should you prefer a formal agreement, we offer standard NDAs or can review your own. Your trust is our priority.
