Material Overview
Copper 3D printing material from Markforged is unparalleled in its ability to conduct both heat and electricity. Markforged Copper possesses better conductivity characteristics than alloyed copper that can be printed on DMLS machines. Unlike conventional fabrication processes which are extremely labor intensive and expensive, Markforged Copper is extremely simple to 3D print.
Common Applications
Welding Shanks, induction coils, heatsinks, bus bars, custom fittings, adapters and EDM electrodes
Key Material Properties
84% IACS Electrical Conductivity
350 W/mK Thermal Conductivity
Lightweight Honeycomb Infill
Maximum Part Size 300 x 220 x 180 mm (11.8 x 8.6 x 7 in)
Part Accuracy - Parts are printed to "near net shape" and can be post processed if needed
What part file formats are supported?
stl, stp, step, obj and wrl
What is the 3D printing process for this material?
Copper parts are 3D printed utilizing the Markforged Metal X 3D metal printer. By printing metal powder bound in a plastic matrix, Markforged has become the first company to eliminate the safety risks associated with traditional metal 3D printers. Once the Copper part has been printed it is “washed” in a washing station which removes some of the binder found in the printing filament. From the wash the part is fired in the sintering furnace where the last remaining binder is burned away and the metal part is fused together.
How long will it take before I receive my part in this material?
Production times vary depending on machine availability, but generally Copper 3D parts are printed and shipped within one to two weeks.
