Inductor

General industry TruPrint Copper Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing offers an alternative to conventional production of the part from multiple segments that have to be bent or milled and soldered together. The cooler has improved cooling through internal conformal cooling channels and flexible production with additive manufacturing. In addition, the efficiency and power input are optimized. The material properties correspond to those of conventional pure copper ETP without requiring heat treatment directly from the machine (101% IACS conductivity, 394 W/(m*K) heat conductivity, 99.9% density of an associated test cube). The inductor was developed by the SMS ELOTHERM Group for hardening drive shafts and has a single-part design without any solder joints up to the other connections to the water cooling system.

Facts & figures for an example part

Material: pure copper

Created by: Elotherm Group

The additive manufacturing of pure copper ETP enables you to use the level of design freedom to optimize the efficiency of the inductor and its power input. The inductor shown here was developed by the SMS ELOTHERM Group for the hardening of drive shafts and is characterised by a single-part design without solder joints up to the other connections to the water cooler.
