Transforming AM Through Materials Freedom • Materials Influence • Introduction of high-performance AM materials • Advantages of 3D printed copper • Advantages of 3D printed pure aluminum • Customization
LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Powerful combination: AM design & materials freedom • Advantages of AM composites & standard alloys • AM Copper is a game changer
Materials Influence Throughout history, materials have defined our technology. Iron Age Bronze Age Stone Age And now: Silicon Age Age of Composites
Wrought Properties (not printed values) Thermal Conductivity (W/(m*K)) Material
Expanding additive materials • 6061-AM Aluminum • Aluminum MMC • Copper • Tungsten
Why Expand additive materials? • AM can revolutionize parts manufacturing landscape • Limited selection restricts economic advantage of AM • Only 12 additive metal alloys were available Composites Conductors Refractories High Performance Alloys
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 Photo courtesy of AM Metals, 2018
Advantages of 3D Printed Copper AMCopper-100XC 8.9 g/cc Pending 21.5 ±2 HRB ~114 Gpa* Pending 90% IACS AMCopper-100 8.9 g/cc 30 ksi (210 MPa) 21 ±2 HRB ~109 Gpa* 349 W/mK 84% IACS Density Ultimate tensile strength Hardness Modulus of elasticity Thermal conductivity Electrical conductivity Physical and Chemical Properties (stress relieved) *Not stress relieved
3D Printed PURE ALUMINUM • Specific conductivity: 80 (W/mK / g/cc) • Corrosion resistance • AM part complexity • Increased efficiency
3D Printed PURE ALUMINUM A1000-AM 2.7 g/cc 15-16 ksi (100-110 MPa) ~109 Gpa 217 W/mK 226 W/mK Density Ultimate tensile strength Modulus of elasticity Thermal conductivity Thermal conductivity (300°C) Physical and Chemical Properties (stress relieved)
Elementum 3D is creating additive manufacturing materials that are not possible through traditional manufacturing.
Materials freedom is as important to AM adoption as design freedom.
