Introduction of Copper

Copper and copper alloys are essential industrial materials, which are widely used in the fields of electricity, heat dissipation, pipelines, and decoration. Some copper alloys also have high strength, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, and can also be used in military, aerospace, high-speed rail, etc. In addition, copper is also a durable metal, which can be recovered many times without damaging its mechanical properties. 3D printing with copper is a rapidly developing technology. As shown in Fig. 1, the fully functional drift tube linac prototype was 3D printed with pure copper. The production costs were reduced by a factor of 3 compared to similar structures produced by traditional manufacturing methods or other means.

Products

As 3D printing is gradually applied to various industries, the importance of 3D printing materials has become more apparent. CD BioSciences is a technology company that provides professional 3D printing products and services. It can provide a variety of metal materials including copper and copper alloys, which have superior thermal conductivity, and high electrical vitality second only to silver. In the field of 3D printing, copper is an ideal metal printing material due to its excellent ductility. Despite the fact that copper materials were first researched late, it has developed rapidly in recent years. With the increase in the demand for complex structural components, traditional processing technology has gradually been unable to meet the demand.
