Bent copper tube and brazed assemblies remain suitable for many established coils. Additive manufacturing is most relevant when geometry or assembly complexity becomes the limiting factor.
Tube bending and tool access can limit the routing of coils around complex workpiece profiles.
Complex assemblies may require several joined sections that need to be inspected and maintained.
Conventional tube paths may restrict how cooling passages and connection points are arranged.
A coil redesign can require new bending steps, fixtures and assembly work before testing begins.
We support engineering review for application-specific coil designs rather than offering one standard coil geometry.
Coils designed to apply controlled heat around joints, fittings and defined joining areas.
Green-laser LPBF for complex pure copper induction coil geometries with integrated cooling paths.
A printable coil design must consider electrical function, cooling access, powder removal and post-processing from the beginning.
Shape coil geometry around the target heating area and available installation space.
Plan internal cooling passages together with inlet, outlet and powder-removal access.
Define electrical, fluid and mounting interfaces for the final assembly.
Review wall transitions, build orientation, support access and finishing requirements before production.
Material selection should be based on electrical performance, mechanical requirements, operating temperature and the intended service environment.
High conductivity material for cooling plates, heat sinks, busbars, and thermal components in power electronics.

| Comparison | LPBF Additive Manufacturing | Conventional Manufacturing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coil geometry | Supports more integrated geometry within printability limits. | Relies on formed tube sections and assembled features. | |
| Cooling layout | Allows internal paths designed with cleaning and powder removal in mind. | Uses bent tubular paths and external connections. | |
| Assembly | Can consolidate selected sections into a single printed part. | May require brazed or joined sections. | |
| Design changes | CAD changes can move directly into a new manufacturing setup. | Often require new bending and assembly work. | |
| Best fit | Complex and development-led coil designs with high engineering value. | Established and relatively simple coil designs. | |
| Validation | Requires application-specific process validation. | Requires application-specific process validation. |

Upload your CAD file, drawing, or cooling requirements. Addireen can review material options, manufacturability, internal channel design, powder removal, post-processing needs, and production feasibility.
Available records focus on material condition, channel integrity and dimensional characteristics. Final heating performance requires application-specific validation.
The tested coil configuration was leak-tested at 0.8 MPa and held for 18 hours after one-end welding.
Electrical conductivity was measured with a conductivity meter and recorded at 97–98% or above.
Density was evaluated using the drainage method. Water-flow verification was also conducted at 10–15 bar with no leakage.
Internal wall condition was examined under uniform-flow conditions. Ra <10 μm.
