Case studies of metal 3D printing for short-term prototyping and manufacturing of pure copper components - Pure copper has high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, making it difficult to print with conventional metal 3D printers. However, new machines equipped with green lasers and binder jetting technology have recently been developed and launched in the market, gaining attention.

A new type of machine that enables the prototyping and manufacturing of pure copper parts using metal 3D printers, which was previously impossible, is being launched by Trumpf, Digital Metal, Desktop Metal, and Markforged. These companies are offering ultra-low-cost machines priced in the tens of millions of yen that are relatively easy to purchase, as well as high-precision machines boasting world-class quality and mass production machines aimed at large-scale manufacturing.
Metal 3D printers compatible with pure copper materials eliminate the need for molds by allowing direct product creation from 3D data. They can produce complex shapes, integrated structures, lattice/porous structures, and hybrid structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional processing methods. This leads to the creation of innovative pure copper parts, rapid development, prototyping, manufacturing, and mass production of components, significant reductions in the number of parts, lightweight and compact designs, cost reductions, and a decrease in the number of personnel required.
In Europe and the United States, mass production using metal 3D printers has already begun, and in a few years, the manufacturing and mass production of pure copper parts utilizing metal 3D printers will become commonplace. We will provide an easy-to-understand explanation for those who wish to significantly differentiate their pure copper parts from traditional or competitor offerings, those considering short-term manufacturing and mass production, and beginners who have an interest in this field.
