Equispheres Launches Oxygen-Free Copper Powder for AM
Aluminum powder leader expands product offerings with high purity Copper.
Ottawa, Ontario - Equispheres, innovator in advanced metal powders for Additive Manufacturing (AM), is pleased to announce their new portfolio of oxygen-free copper powders designed for serial production programs. Equispheres breakthrough technology optimizes powder characteristics for industrial 3D printing, providing scalable North American production of high-quality copper powders for the aerospace, automotive and semiconductor industries.
"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."
Equispheres powder technology precisely controls copper particles during formation to achieve high purity and optimize characteristics for industrial applications. High sphericity, ultra-thin oxide layer, and controlled particle size ensure consistent spread density and energy absorption in the L-PBF process.
Equispheres is pleased to establish North American production of oxygen-free copper powders. Copper alloy powders are also in development to address manufacturers' diverse requirements, including strength, conductivity, wear and oxidation resistance.
