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.

316L Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger Engineering Case Study

Review six TPMS and lattice structures integrated into one 316L demonstrator, together with qualitative flow observations, green-laser LPBF build records and the next steps required for product validation.

Core Advantages

Six Internal Structures: Compares TPMS and lattice concepts integrated into a single 316L demonstrator.
Qualitative Flow Observation: Records how the internal structures were observed under the defined experimental conditions.
LPBF Build Records: Includes a 0.3 mm minimum wall, Ra 5–9 μm surface roughness and up to 99.9% recorded build density.
Validation Roadmap: Identifies the thermal, hydraulic, leak, cleanliness and service life testing still required.
