Copper combines good mechanical properties with thermal and electrical conductivity. This alloy can be tested to rough conditions where pure copper cannot be achieved
Copper is a soft, ductile metal used primarily for its electrical and thermal conductivity. Copper’s high conductivity makes it an ideal material for many heat sinks and heat exchangers, power distribution components such as bus bars, manufacturing equipment including spot welding shanks, antennae for RF communications, and more. The ability to print pure copper using Metal X enables geometrically optimized parts that were previously expensive, time consuming, or impossible to make.
