“3D printing pure copper with the Markforged Metal X system is faster and more cost-effective than purchasing complex machined components.”

A German automobile manufacturer operating worldwide prints customized welding electrodes for spot welding made of pure copper!

According to a maintenance manager at the company, component costs were reduced by 50% and lead times were reduced from 14 weeks to 3 days! Additionally, the honeycomb structure inside the component allows for a massive weight reduction!

Pure copper with very high electrical and thermal conductivities can now be printed layer by layer using the classic filament printing process.

What are the advantages of copper 3D printing?

✅ Very high conductivities
✅ Quick first prototypes
✅ Significant design freedom
