Pure Copper 3D Printing for Thermal Management
Learn how green laser PBF enables dense pure copper parts for heat exchangers, liquid cold plates, heat sinks, and high conductivity thermal components.
Core Advantages
- Material Excellence: Achieves ~99.8% relative density and ~400 W/(m·K) thermal conductivity using 532 nm green lasers.
- Geometric Freedom: Enables complex monolithic structures—like TPMS lattices and ultra–thin 0.1 mm micro–fins.
- Proven Efficiency: Delivers a demonstrated 28% improvement in overall heat dissipation under identical pumping power.
- Targeted Applications: Features empirical benchmarks for AI server liquid cold plates, optical transceivers, and EV power modules.
AlSi10Mg Heat Exchangers for Lightweight Thermal Design
Explore how AlSi10Mg supports lightweight heat exchangers with complex internal channels, integrated manifolds, and reduced assembly risks.
Core Advantages
- Specific Thermal Conductivity for Lightweighting: Annealed AlSi10Mg achieves a 69.3 index, outperforming 6061–T6 aluminum and pure copper under strict mass budgets.
- Monolithic Design & Zero Leakage: AM consolidates thermal cores and manifolds, eliminating vulnerable brazed joints and high–pressure leakage risks.
- Decoupled Heat Transfer & Pressure Drop: 1–to–6 parallel manifolds and 3D helical channels enhance heat dissipation without fluid pressure penalties.
