Material producer Equispheres is showcasing at Formnext a portfolio of oxygen-free copper powders designed for additive manufacturing.
By optimizing powder characteristics, the company’s technology can ensure production of high-quality copper powders for the aerospace, automotive, and semiconductor industries. The company confirms this technology can control copper particles during formation. High sphericity, ultra-thin oxide layer, and controlled particle size ensure consistent spread density and energy absorption in the L-PBF process.
Validation testing of Equispheres Cu-OF (C10200) powder demonstrates high sphericity, high flowability, and excellent processability, with published data available on the AconityX high-performance system.
“At Equispheres, we’ve harnessed our proven expertise in advanced powder technology—demonstrated through our success with aluminum AM—to introduce a next generation of copper powders,” states Kevin Nicholds, CEO of Equispheres. “By applying the same breakthrough technology that set our aluminum powders apart, we’ve achieved remarkable results in copper. We’re excited to offer manufacturers a new benchmark in quality and performance.”
The company’s presence at Formnext aim to support all companies looking to ramp up their production in North America, where the production of oxygen-free copper powders is managed.
