7. Expanding additive materials
Aluminum MMC
6061-AM Aluminum
Copper
Tungsten

8. Why Expand additive materials?
AM can revolutionize parts manufacturing landscape
Limited selection restricts economic advantage of AM
Only 12 additive metal alloys were available
Refractories
Conductors
Composites
High Performance Alloys

9. Advantages of 3D Printed Copper
Highest Printed Conductivity
AM part complexity
Complex external & internal structures
Conformal temperature control channels
Increased efficiency
Part consolidation
Reduced production costs & lead times
