Equispheres releases new portfolio of oxygen-free copper powders

Equispheres, an innovator in advanced metal powders for additive manufacturing, has released a 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.

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,” said 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.
