Leiming Laser Achieves Breakthrough in Copper Alloy 3D Printing with 0.15mm Wall Thickness

Originally reported by 南极熊

Leiming Laser has achieved a breakthrough in copper alloy 3D printing, producing precision components with wall thicknesses of just 0.15mm. By overcoming copper's high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, this SLM process enables high-density structures essential for advanced cooling. This precision is transformative for rocket engine injectors and micro-channel heat exchangers where efficiency is critical. Such ultra-thin wall capabilities will drive the next wave of functional integration in aerospace and high-power electronics.
