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

Originally reported by 南极熊

Leiming Laser has achieved a breakthrough in metal additive manufacturing by successfully printing copper alloy components with wall thicknesses of 0.15mm or less. This technical milestone overcomes copper’s inherent challenges of high thermal conductivity and low laser absorption, which typically limit SLM precision. By enabling ultra-thin walls at this scale, the company is facilitating the production of highly efficient, lightweight heat exchangers. This advancement signals a shift toward a new generation of high-power density thermal management components.
