Realizing short-term, low-cost, high-quality manufacturing of copper parts with metal 3D printers <Zoom Online Seminar> - Trends in the development of pure copper and copper alloy powders for additive manufacturing, advanced user cases that achieved a significant reduction in the number of parts, cost reduction, quality improvement, and rapid manufacturing through complex shape integrated manufacturing and topology optimization using metal 3D printers.
Copper, which has a high reflectivity for lasers and quickly dissipates the thermal energy from laser irradiation, was difficult to shape using metal 3D printers. However, recently developed high-performance and high-functionality metal 3D printers, along with pure copper and copper alloy powders that have a high absorption rate and excellent 3D moldability, have been introduced to the market, leading to rapid practical application in advanced companies.
Metal 3D printers can now create complex shapes in a single build, lattice/porous structures, and hybrid designs, which were previously impossible. This enables the creation of innovative parts, rapid development and prototyping of components, significant reductions in the number of parts, improved quality, lightweight and compact designs, and cost reductions. The adoption and utilization of these technologies are becoming more active in applications such as heating coils, heat sinks, heat exchangers, motor coils, and electronic and electrical devices.
In this seminar, we will discuss the latest trends in pure copper and copper alloy powders suitable for 3D additive manufacturing, developed by Fukuda Metal Foil Powder Industry, which enhance laser absorption. We will also present case studies on the layered molding of pure copper and copper alloys, as well as examples from leading users such as TK Engineering, ODEC, and Fasotec, who are utilizing metal 3D printers to manufacture low-cost, high-quality copper parts in a short time. The seminar will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of innovative molding technologies and cases that are not found in traditional or other companies, including success and failure stories, aimed at beginners.
