“3D printing of pure copper using the Markforged Metal X system is faster and cheaper than buying complex machined parts.”

A german car manufacturer, which operates worldwide, prints customised welding electrodes for spot welding from pure copper!

According to one of the company’s maintenance managers, component costs were reduced by 50% and lead times were cut from 14 weeks to 3 days! In addition, a massive weight reduction can be achieved due to the honeycomb structure inside the component!

99.8% pure copper with very high electrical and thermal conductivity can now be printed in the classic filament printing process – layer by layer.

What are the advantages of copper 3D printing?

✅ Very high conductivities
✅ Quickly produce the first prototypes
✅ Significant freedom of design
