Advances in Pure-Copper Laser Sintering
April 22, 2019
One part resulting from these collaborations: a pure-copper heat exchanger with complex spiral geometry and a wall thickness of 0.5 mm. The heat exchanger, printed as a single piece using Farsoon’s MLS technology, reportedly resulted in a more efficient heat exchanger than one produced via a traditional brazing process. The lightweight design reduces weight by more than 30 percent and production costs by 35 percent, while achieving density of at least 97 percent.
All Farsoon MLS systems can provide pure-copper processing, according to company officials, as its Application R&D team has obtained appropriate scanning strategies and process parameters for pure copper, minimizing the adverse effects of high laser reflectance.
