Additional Context
With the significant volume of copper used in electronics, semiconductors, aerospace, defense, and beyond, copper additive has had immense promise from the early days of copper 3D printing at Beamit and the first industrialization at GH Induction and Aidimme (both with E-beam!). Years later, green laser LPBF and rejigged LPBF processes brought dedicated copper machines on the market from AMCM, EOS, ATLIX, and others. A lot of the production cases were super secret and very specific, keeping news on copper printing subdued. And if you didn’t know any better, you’d think that copper printing was kind of a shadow of its glimmering glow of promise.
But copper is an unsung success story in Additive, a victim of what I’ve called the Tip of the Iceberg problem. With no one able to share cases, s
