High-quality, low-cost manufacturing of copper parts in a short time using metal 3D printers <Zoom Online Seminar> - Advanced user cases that achieved significant reduction in the number of parts, cost reduction, quality improvement, and rapid production through the use of pure copper and copper alloy materials for AM, utilizing metal 3D printers for complex shape integration and topology optimization.
Copper, which has a high reflectivity for lasers and quickly dissipates the thermal energy from laser irradiation, was quite difficult to shape using metal 3D printers. However, recently developed pure copper and copper alloy materials with high laser absorption rates and excellent 3D printability have made it possible to manufacture high-performance copper components using metal 3D printers.
With metal 3D printers, complex integrated shapes, lattice/porous structures, and hybrid manufacturing that were impossible with conventional processing methods can now be achieved, leading to the creation of innovative copper components, rapid development and prototyping of parts, significant reductions in the number of parts and improvements in quality, lightweight and compact designs, cost reductions, and a substantial decrease in the number of processes and personnel involved. This has led to increased adoption and utilization in applications such as heating coils, heat sinks, heat exchangers, motor coils, and electronic and electrical devices.
The leading user, TK Engineering, has introduced four metal 3D printers in a short period for the manufacturing of heating coils and other components, producing a wide variety of copper parts with astonishingly short production times, high quality, and low costs, continuing to make significant progress.
This seminar will provide a clear and concrete explanation, including success and failure stories, for those considering the use of metal 3D printers for copper component manufacturing, as well as for beginners who have an interest or curiosity in this area.
